Telstra and Optus don't do that, as well as the carriers that nobody's heard of like Soul
Vodafone and 3 do, though
(I hate 3, and I hate Telstra even more!  )

Ok heres what I know:
Telstra:
Startup & Shutdown images
Firmware branding on most models
Sometimes a physical telstra brand
Vodafone:
Startup & Shutdown images on some models
firmware branding on some models, fewer than telstra
Physical brand, more than telstra
Optus:
Startup & Shutdown images on allmost every model
firmware branding on some models about the same as voda
Barley ever see a physical brand
3:
startup & shutdown
heavy firmware branding
physical branding is not really thier thing
Then you got the unknown carriers like revtell, savvytell, soul, dodo etc I don't know about them.

does the optus firmware branding screw up the flash themes for SE?
cos i just got a 3 phone couple months ago and the fact that i miss out on the flash themes makes me regret changing to 3 from optus |

I know that they like to replace the left softkey with 'Optus Zoo', and same goes for the Internet icon (or the Playnow one, I forgot which one).

I almost never buy branded phones but I don't mind the latest Telstra ones as they actually have useful stuff like Foxtel and the ability to find stuff near my current location etc

Ooh, I gotta mention this.
Virgin are going to have the S500i avaiable for $199 soon. Within two weeks I guess, and they don't brand AFAIK.
Telstra is going to have the W810i for $299. Much too late IMO.
Optus and Vodafone are going to have the K800i for $299.
And Vodafone will have the W880i with a 2GB memory stick for $399.
