Hi @blogmudgeon
Apologies, Are you one of our Pro users?
We can provide a simple CSS customization to get rid of that icon. Unfortunately, www.remarpro.com doesn’t allow us to address pro support questions here in the free forum. We can only address NextGEN Gallery [Free] questions only. Please submit a support request through your member account here: https://www.imagely.com/account. Because we need to work with you on this through your member support ticket, I am going to mark this thread resolved.
