Okay, I am aware that I am not the first to ask about this but ...
I have finally bought Bazille and, as expected, it is fantastic (and so is the Vectors soundset). There is only one thing that I am not so happy about and that I find a little irritating, and that is the position of the u-he logo at the top right.
It overlaps the LFO2 section in the GLOBAL pane as it is not really integrated in the header (as all the other switches, tabs, the display, the output knob and the "Bazille" label are). Same is true of the PATCHES pane.
I used the search function in the forum and saw that Urs, in reply to EvilDragon, once said that the overlapping logo was important to him.
While I absolutely understand that a company's label/logo should be very prominent on a product, I still have to say that, like this, it looks a bit "buggy" to me. I feel that the u-he logo only needs to be shifted a little more towards the top - without its size being reduced (!) - to be an integral part of the header. So maybe a little change in the script would do. Or, maybe the logo could be made part of the GLOBAL and PATCHES pane.
What do you think?

It's probably a very easy thing to fix via a custom skin. 
Go for it.

Maybe but I believe that this should actually be hotfixed.
In both cases (see above) the script would have to be changed and I don't know how to do this.
The only passage in the script where the logo is mentioned reads like this:
CONTROL type='Button On-Off' name='Button 1508' bounds='1094.00 3.00 95.00 45.00' parent='MainPane' layerMask='7fffffff'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='colours' id='0' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='colours' id='1' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='colours' id='2' value='invisible'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='colours' id='3' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='colours' id='4' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='graphics' id='0' value='UHE_logo'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='graphics' id='1' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='graphics' id='2' value='none'
PROPERTY control='Button 1508' name='graphics' id='3' value='none'
I really have no clue what all these numbers or values mean.
I think there might be a workaround, though (still very amateurish): Make the u-he logo an "empty" (i. e. invisible) PNG and attach the original logo to the GLOBAL and PATCHES pane. That way, the "buggy" logo would still be there as part of Bazille's GUI but couldn't be seen anymore.

The logo appears to act as a button. I assume to open the About box. The "bounds" section of the script is likely the coordinates of the button range so you may want to play with that. The rest of the editing could be done just by editing the .png's. Play around. Experiment. It can be fun to learn stuff like this and customize your as synths. Especially if something bothers you.

Okay, thanks! I will have a try.

I managed to do it using the "workaround method" I described above (without fiddling the script). Of course, you only have to attach the logo to the GLOBAL pane only (not the PATCHES pane as I stated at first). It is not ideal (clicking in an empty space opens up the menu connected to the logo button) but it works and looks better now.
But still I think it is strange that no one else but me (and maybe EvilDragon) considers the logo thing to be a bug in the official version. Or, I just don't get the meaning of the way it actually is.
Needless to say, I am more than happy with the synth as such.

Used to bother me too, but I switched (permanently) to the GearPorn skin and forgot about it.

I think there was mention some time ago of a Bazille guide to sound design or some such - is it still in the works ? Should we see it before the end of the year ?

Yes, before the end of the year.
