A saddle like the Aspide Glamour?

Seam ripper?

Tiny cuticle scissors?

Huh, I didn't think of that... has anyone ripped those suckers off before??

Stop by a Joann's or Hancock's or other fabric store and get a seam ripper. Assuming the labels are sewn on, it's the best way to remove them without adding a hole. Since it's not realy ridable this way, what do you have to loose?

I'll have to look at mine when I get home tonight, but I thought that the labels were embroidered directly on the saddle?

I honestly can't remember.

It looked to me from the pics that there was a border around it, as if it were a patch.

If you're afraid of destroying the saddle by removing the patches, maybe you could try covering them over? If you used a vinyl-covered tape or electricians tape, I wonder if smoothing over the stitching would provide relief?

If all else fails, I believe the 2008 model of the Glamour has a smooth cover with the logos screened or however they do that, where it's just part of the saddle with no need for stitching.

I just found a picture of the model with no stitching.

That's it! That's what mine looks like, except in black. The logos are embossed and printed. FWIW, I bought it in April 2008 from Performance- maybe they still have the embossed version?
