Small nit but a bezel is the piece of plastic or metal that surrounds
a device to make a clean looking front.  At least, that's the computer
usage of the term.  Originally it was a jewelry term for the part of
a ring or watch that held the stone or the clockface.

An example of a bezel on a computer is those plasic rectangles that filled
a full 5.25" floppy slot with a cutout for a 3.5" floppy drive.

I'm not sure what the term for those logo inserts are unless they are
called "logo inserts."
