In xorg.conf, search for the Option "NoLogo". It's probably set to true.
Set it to false. If it's not there at all, locate the Section "Device"
and add this
	Option     "NoLogo" "false"

Only if the nvidia-provided drivers were newer than those in Ubuntu, and
you had a specific reason (fixed bug, added feature, ...) to use the
newer ones.
