Hopefully the bar tape will cover up the logo, also from what i can see on the internet there doesn't seem to be alot of 26mm handlebars that looks nice or french.
I think that Nitto typeface does not look out of place on this bike. If you're bothered by it, paint stripper (the gooey gel kind) should strip them of without affecting the finish. Bar tape up to the stem clamp is a bit naff IMO.
