Some background images from the SpaceX launch page:

Can we tell from this angle if they smeared the soot around to hide where they peeled off the NASA logo?

I can't even tell if logos are absent or present from that angle.

I can see the meatball logo on the right side of the rocket near the interstage. You can see like a small part of the blue circle being there. So it looks like it may fly with the logos from Demo-2

I had a feeling they would remove the NASA worm for this launch.

It's not a NASA mission

Ha, you're right!

And if I over-zoom, I think I can see the very top of the worm hiding among the shadows.

Edit: Added image with worm for comparison.

Edit 2: Added one more image, this time with a crop from post-DM2-recovery. Matching soot patterns show that the "shadows" come in at just the right spot to be the worm. OK, I've finally convinced myself.

Do we have a NSF webcast for this launch? Or are the usual suspects all tapped out from the Al-Amal launch coverage.
