Regardless, make sure it has a flared base.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned a brass wire wheel attachment on a Dremel. Abrasive enough to get the print off but not so abrasive that it scratches glass. I've done it myself and it works great. Tons of YouTube videos on it.

I, too, hate obnoxious brand names on weed paraphernalia.

Exactly. If logos are going to be loud and annoying, I have no idea what my role is!

If it’s not etched into the glass, you can try oven cleaner, it aggressively dissolves printed labels.

Any degreaser, acetone should also work.

If it is etched, just etch over it.

0000 steel wool. Soap water. Unless it's etched then it's forever

Sandpaper? Could even use a really fine grit and polish it.

Just soak it in some white vinegar for 30 mins and it will wipe right off

Dremel with polishing compound.

A sugar cube is abrasive enough without being too abrasive. Might help.

CLR has worked for me

TNT works best.
