Anything you put on an intercooler will decrease it's heat transfer efficency.
 
That's been proven to not affect at any amount that would matter.
 
I think it's been pretty well proven that coating an intercooler will have negligible affects on the cooling property. The heat transferring surface is inside anyways. Once it's outside it just has to dissipate. So don't paint the inside or cover the outside in a thick coat paint and you'll be fine. I mean, Phil Beers ran his record-setting 14b with a painted intercooler. And if anything needs efficient cooling, it's a 14b getting pushed to the very limit.

My vote goes to the Eagle symbol. But I would put it smaller and offset, maybe in a corner like the first "DSM" design. Huge symbols painted on the intercooler remind me of giant rear window stickers: They scream "hey, look how cool I am".
