Ok see I agree those look decent since like you said they aren't overkill and are just designed to clean up a otherwise crummy looking rear caliper. Cool, glad you posted that info and pics so I knew exactly what we were talking about.
As for a Type S logo I personally don't think that would look good. The word Acura or just left black would be nicest. The logo on the front caliper is good enough although im just not a fan of additional badges all over the place when the one in the back is all you need and keeps the car clean and uncluttered.

i put rear caliper covers on mine but they don't look out of place or cheap or gaudy. they make a bunch of different kinds out there and i painted these particular ones starfire pearl to match my front calipers.
i'm not trying to "fake" anything or trick anyone into thinking i have BBK on my car...i just think it looks nice is all.

Off topic, but caliper covers = trying to look like you have a BBK. So why not just go ahead and cut a hole in your hood and put a fake engine with supercharger poking through it. It looks nice is all. LOL

you know, i honestly don't recall. i got them off eBay and just repainted them myself to match the fronts.
the only thing that made any sense was your last statement. "it looks nice is all."
nobody is pretending to have a rear BBK on their car. if anyone ever asks me, i tell them it's just a plastic cover because the stock rear calipers look like shit on TL's. this is a cheap, effective way to dress them up a bit without dumping tons of money into something that our cars don't even need (a rear BBK).
LOL.

I think the brembo covers look good on the TLs that have the brembos up front. matches well. in my case I have a base model AT so no brembos for me...

fun at Aaron, it's not 6-pot...at least I don't think 
I like it though, it flows and still looks nice.
The RDX covers are small enough to not be imitating a real BBK or the likes. They're just a flat cover with ACURA letters across them.
This is the front...

The rear is completely covered...
For anyone looking for the thread on these...sorry if it's a repost...

^^^you have to change the front knuckle with 04-06 MT or 07-08 Type S, then you have to buy the Brembo caliper. I would rather get RL brake with custom bracket instead.
