Do all EK items have logo on them?

yeah, all non-EK rads dont have the EK logo on it
Although this is probably not the answer you are looking for

most manu's brand their products as they want the free advertisement, especially on show rigs and those who do build logs and post on forums. Alphacool with their latest batch of rads put the stickers inside the box for you to put on instead of applying them at the factory.

ok im sure im gonna get bashed for this, but i bought a radiator off ebay and the dude said it is a slim ek radiator with no logo. But comes in EK box which means nothing. So when it arrives im going to take pictures of everything. he said he has warranty receipt and all which means nothing as well. Just to get your opinion before continuing

That sounds really fishy. Unless he had a prototype or something, I can't imagine what you bought is legit.

I think you've been had. Either that or the seller was mistaken in what the radiator's called.
Here's the link to the product page of the exact same model from EKWB's site directly:

this was his reply when i said the radiator looked suspect
This radiator has that black power coating, which is a signature finish of EK Black Ice Radiator series. Also, included within the box was the standard EKWB void warranty notice (one that states that if you puncture the radiator, your warranty is void etc etc.). I've also sold 480mm Black Ice to a different customer but his radiator, that particular model, did not have EK branded on the radiator (but his radiator comes with the standard EKWB box).
and another reply
No, not this XT model. It's a low-profile unlike the Monsta Rads. Too thin to engrave the markings I suppose.
and last one
You won't. You have my words. And if by any chance you have reasons to believe it is a knock-off, let me know. I will make sure you get your money's worth.

Unless Im out of it right now, he just flat out lied to you... EK does not make Black Ice rads, HWLabs makes those... And Alphacool makes the Monsta rads, so obviously no EK marking. The new Alphacool rads dont have branding and a sticker is included in the boxes if you do want to show off branding.
He appears to be selling a whole bunch of water cooling equipment of various brands. It's possible it was an honest mistake and he just forgot which radiator this was.
I agree that it doesn't appear to be an EK rad. It looks like a Black Ice GTS Stealth.
EDIT: Awww, ATM beat me to the punch while I was looking at pictures. I agree with though.
