You absolutely want to remove those goofy yellow, blue and red stickers that come on all consumer grade cameras. They are made to be removed! Nothing says Newby more than a camera with stickers describing all of the features on it! Those are put on the consumer cameras (video cams too) to sell the camera. You're supposed to take them off. No serious photographer would be caught dead with those things on their camera. Although, I might add, serious photographers don't buy consumer grade cameras! Pro cameras never come with stickers plastered all over them. So, yes! Pull off the sticker. They come off easily and leave very little residue if any.
