Hello!  
A quick search in the BabylonJS source code reveals this:

> <https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/13caacb5e6525453be4eb1e44833b957bfd7412b/src/Engines/thinEngine.ts#L940>

So unfortunatelly no, you can’t prevent to log the BabylonJS version unless you compile your own BabylonJS library without this line.

Or you can redefine the `console.log` function to your own and make a decision what to log. To suppress everything:

```auto
console.log = function() {}

```

Yes, I was hoping it worked a little more like assert. There are Levels to logging. Thing you might be able to set Logger to report when there is an error. This is a really old part of the API.

Edit: I did not look close enough. Thought it was BABYLON.Logger, not console.log() being used.

I like how pixijs does it (especially in chrome!):  
[pixijs/hello.ts at dev · pixijs/pixijs (github.com)](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/blob/dev/packages/utils/src/browser/hello.ts)

You can call `skipHello()` and then it won’t log.

edit: I used that for a babylon physics plugin i worked on at one stage:

```auto
if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('chrome') > -1) {
    // colors from logo
    const topBlue = '#3B789A';
    const sideBlue = '#405A68';
    const bottomBlue = '#61B0E1';

    const descriptions: string[] = ['Wammo', 'ManyBody', 'Spring'];

    const url = 'http://github.com/brianzinn/wammo/';
    const length = url.length + 9;

    const args = ['']
    args[0] += `%c %c %c ♥ %c ${' '.padEnd(url.length)} %c ♥ %c %c \n`
    args.push(...[
      `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `color: red; background: ${bottomBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `color: red; background: ${bottomBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
    ]);

    descriptions.forEach((d, i) => {
      args[0] += `%c %c %c ${(i > 0 ? `- ${d}` : d).padEnd(length, ' ')}%c %c \n`;
      args.push(...[
        `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
        `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
        `color: ${bottomBlue}; background: #030307; padding:5px 0;`,
        `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
        `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      ])
    });

    args[0] += ` %c %c ♥ %c ${url} %c ♥ %c %c \n\n`
    args.push(...[
      `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `color: red; background: ${bottomBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `color: red; background: ${bottomBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${sideBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
      `background: ${topBlue}; padding:5px 0;`,
    ]);

    window.console.log(...args);
  }
  else if (window.console) {
    window.console.log(`Wammo Physics engine`);
  }

```

Please excuse the graveyard post lol.

i cannot verify this will work for all babylon but it worked for me

I ran into the same Babylon banner spam while using a tool that pulls in BabylonJS under the hood.

I didn’t recompile Babylon — instead I suppressed the banner at runtime:

- The version string is written with a plain `console.log/info("Babylon.js vX.Y.Z …")` very early in engine init.

- If it happens inside a Web Worker you can’t intercept it, so I run the babylon stuff with `offscreen: false` to keep it on the main thread.

- Then, at app startup, I wrap `console.log/info` and drop only lines that match `/^Babylon\.js v/i`.

That way the engine still works fine, but the “Babylon.js v…” banner never reaches my dev console.

So you don’t need to fork Babylon — just intercept the log call or disable the worker mode.
