I did a little trick to remove mine.. First thing i did was change the wallpaper to a solid color. Either black or white.. That will make the watermark change colors..
If the background is black the watermark is white etc..
So i'm using an alienware wallpaper which has a black background.
I set the solid color to white, which made the text black
then i set the alienware wallpaper and watermark is hidden
