Summary

Removes the RAPIDS logo <img> from the top of README.md, as requested in #2295.

Scope note

#2295 also asks to replace other mentions of "RAPIDS" with "NVIDIA" across the codebase. I audited every remaining RAPIDS occurrence (README, fern docs, cmake, CI scripts, env vars) and left them as-is, because they refer to the actual, current names of separate things cuVS depends on or documents rather than to cuVS's own branding:

  • RAPIDS_DATASET_ROOT_DIR — a real environment variable read by cuvs_bench code; renaming it in docs only would make the docs wrong.
  • "RAPIDS RAFT" / github.com/rapidsai/raft — the real name of the separate library cuVS is built on.
  • "RAPIDS Memory Manager (RMM)" — the real, official name of another dependency.
  • "RAPIDS Community" (rapids.ai/community.html), the RAPIDS release schedule, and "RAPIDS pre-commit hooks" — real external resources with valid links, which the issue also says not to remove.

Renaming any of these would be factually incorrect. Happy to take a pass at a broader rebrand if maintainers want to scope that differently — flagging here rather than guessing.

Fixes #2295 (logo portion)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The logo <img> tag pointed to rapids.ai/assets/images/rapids_logo.png
and was purely cosmetic. Removed per issue request.

Other RAPIDS mentions in the codebase (RAPIDS RAFT, RAPIDS Memory
Manager, RAPIDS_DATASET_ROOT_DIR env var, RAPIDS Community link,
RAPIDS release schedule, RAPIDS pre-commit hooks) were left as-is:
these are the real, current names of separate libraries/tools/env
vars that cuVS depends on or documents, not cuVS's own branding, and
renaming them would be factually incorrect and break documented
env-var/tool names.

Fixes NVIDIA#2295
