I received the Extended DVD-9 version a couple of days ago and yes, the logo is there every 5 minutes or so.
Can "sort of" be disabled by manually selecting no subtitles and then back to English again as most of the time the logo appears there is no talking going on so you don't miss anything.
For me the extralong scenes made a difference to the movie, it now feels more paced and a better movie. The other cut felt more like an action movie, this new one is a bit less so, to me that is a positive thing.
I would say most fighting scenes are extended.

And while I was at it, I included the beginning and end text in the subtitles.

Although we may be close to violating the forum rules with this discussion, I'll add this:
The subtitle file won't do anyone any good by itself. As mentioned above, you need to demux, edit, mux and burn the results back to DVD. There are freeware programs available to do this.
Or, wait for the Miramax R1 release.

thumbs to all the efforts that went into comparing the many versions
of Hero
but a very important comparison is missing,
what's so different in the so called extended cut
I know we're not talking about extended in terms of LOTR ext ed.
but is it even worth to get the extended cut especially considering the fact they used the same crappy transfer?

In this day and age where we have watermarks on every TV station, it shouldn't be a surprise that this is happening. Although, the stupid FACE logo is not even translucent or faded.
BAH! The movie sucks anyways, I am just a Jet Li whore and wanted to add to the collection.
