Love the upside-down "G" on her helmet...Gatchaman reference! Usually I'm annoyed by the Japanese tendency to obscure references (like calling Line "Lime" especially when its a scanlation...you won't get sued by Line scanlators...just write Line) but the upside down G is funny

That practice is called greeking. "Greeking in theatre, television, and film production art-department work refers to the process of changing or hiding corporate trademarks that have not been "cleared" legally for use in the production. [4]" It's not exclusively done by Japan, it's common practice to avoid having unnecessary legal troubles. Also, if you see a brand actually being featured in their actual name prominently in media, it's highly likely they have sponsorship/licensing deals behind the scenes. Most artists choose to do greeking instead because getting sponsorship/license takes time and effort.

Most likely, scanlators keep the greeking intact to keep it the same as what the mangaka intended.
