Change Carrier Logo Without JB

Before the evasi0n jailbreak was out, I used CarrierEditor to customize my logo (iPhone 5 on Verizon.)
I have since jailbroken, and now would rather use Zeppelin to customize the logo instead. And try as I might, I can't get the logo to permanently revert back to the original! I have followed the instructions, used iTunes to install the "original" .ipcc file created. I've tried with higher number, lower number, and nothing seems to work. Well, it works for a bit, I see the original (text) logo but a little bit later, after a respring, or a restart, or a Cydia app install (it almost seems random) I see that the logo has gone back to my CarrierEditor "customized" one. It just keeps coming back.
I can't stand it anymore, and it worries me that I've corrupted my logo in some way that can't be easily reverted.
Can someone help? How do I change it back, remove the logo customization, so it's back to exactly what it'd be stock? I don't want to have to do a whole phone restore, either.
Please help, you're my only hope

Have you tried going in to Zeppelins settings and disabling it? Or just removing Zeppelin? Have you restarted the device?

Are you are trying to revert back to stock logo while having zeppelin installed?
I tried everything to get rid of the LOGO that I thought was cute, installed via CarrierEditor (and later, no longer wanted.)
Yes, I disabled and removed Zeppelin. Tried installing a "blank" carrier logo. It worked... for a bit. The carrier went back to the plain "Verizon" text. And then an hour or two later, after a respring, a reboot, or some unrelated Cydia install, the dang LOGO would return. I tried installing another "blank" carrier logo. With a newer version number. An older version number. The same version number. Every time, same result. No matter what, the text would eventually change back to the LOGO... that I began to despise.
Out of frustration, I actually reinstalled and enabled Zeppelin to mask the LOGO for awhile... but it grated on me. I didn't like having to do that. And I like WiCarrier as a tweak, which doesn't work with these other logo enhancers, so I really wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The only thing that worked for me was a complete restore. And then I re-jailbroke. Now I am happy with WiCarrier, as well as Zeppelin (as I can customize it from time-to-time, on-the-fly, with no residual effects.) I've gotta say, I'm a fairly competent troubleshooter, a seasoned jailbreaker, and can follow instructions well. Carrier Editor (and its "undo instructions") simply did not work for me, and unfortunately, ended up being more of a hassle than I thought I was signing up for. #DONOTWANT
Alas, I'm happy to have fixed my situation. Just took some time, is all.
I read your question:
...and am curious to know what the "other way around" your issue ended up being. Can you post it here to potentially help others in the same boat?
Hey, I seemingly thought I figured it out as I was able to get my Verizon logo back for a half a day but then it updated carrier settings randomly and brought back the custom icon. This has been such a hassle trying to get it to restore. I even tried overlaying a new custom Verizon 14.2 logo and then restoring back to the original Verizon 14.1 logo with no luck(creating a .icpp bundle). It actually reverts back to 14.0 (which is when it says Verizon) but then it updates carriers randomly to 14.1 (which is my old custom one).
I have a Genius appointment for my Sleep/Wake button tomorrow so if I can't figure out a fix tonight looks like I'll have to just wipe it all so it can be stock for when I bring it in.
I cropped out the "telus" myself, and i tried it with customcarrierlogo (windows) but it didnt work. Carrier version updated but logo didnt change. Does this not work with telus?
Could someone create the original O2-UK black/white logo? Someone tried to create it earlier in the thread but for some reason it didn't scale up properly. This is just a screenshot of it but it doesn't work well when you use it, probably because it's not white.. Thanks
Also, does anyone know if you can use a different provider when creating the ipcc files? So if I used O2-UK it would come up with that logo..?
