These guys: stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware...4uumC5YhG
They don't say Remo or Weatherking on them (which I quite like - don't have to hide the logo under the tailpiece!)
They have BJ-1100-M1 on the edge of the hoop, which exactly the same code as this, which does have the logo: remo.com/partnumber/bj-1100-m1
Do Stew Mac just get blank ones as a special order?

Yes, they get them from Remo. I use these heads exclusively when I set up somebody’s banjo. They’re consistently good and have a full sound and quick response.

My shop, Smakula Fretted Instruments, also sells Remo heads without a logo. In addition to the popular 11" diameter heads, I have somehow convinced myself to stock all the other sizes that no other retailer thinks are necessary.
It took a lot of convincing to have Remo make heads with no logo. After about 10 years of no logo, In 2019 they were ready to force us to accept their crown logo. Then someone changed their mind. From what I hear from colleagues, they have not allowed any new dealers or banjo builders to order banjo heads with no logo, though a builders custom logo is allowed.
