When you say "removes them" I assume you mean "replaces them with an 
ever-changing and arguably even more distracting fuzzy area"

It depends which program you use. The DeLogo filter for VirtualDub when used 
properly is much more sophisticated than that. It removed both logos from 
Secret Diary of a Call Girl leaving just a feint green shadow in some dark 
scenes where the ITV 2 logo used to be.

After: http://www.imagehosting.com/show.php/1285614_vlcsnap127167.png.html

This was a first attempt using the fastest, simplest option available. An 
expert can produce much better results.

on the image supplied, the "green shadow" is on a light area, and 
plainly visible.

Also in my experience, logo-removers (including DeLogo) look fine in 
stills (usually much better than the nigh-on useless example you 
provided), but are shockingly distracting once the picture starts 
moving, as the colours of the "shadow" move and change, as the algorithm 
tries its best to predict what colours should be there.

The problem is that (short of hand colouring each and every frame) there 
is no way to remove a logo satisfactorily, as there is no information 
available on screen as to what colours are missing from underneath the 
DOG.
