Just get a red stamp that says 'Certified By the Chief Pilots Office'. No need to put any logos or names. Stamp it and then scribble a signature underneath where you put the stamp. Nobody will ever check and no U.S. airline will release records they are not legally obligated to release. In other words they will release PRIA records to other U.S. airlines, but beyond that they will not do anything other than confirm your dates of employment. Doing anything more, or releasing records to non-U.S. companies when they are not legally required to do so, exposes them to the risk of lawsuits.
When I interviewed with Qatar back in 2009 they were happy with just the red 'Certified' stamp in my logbook. Any airline that deals with American pilots will know that U.S. airlines do not officially stamp logbooks and are pretty lenient as long as you get something that verifies your hours.
Another option is to add a quick rating, like a seaplane rating, or to renew your CFI, and fill out a detailed 8710. Then get verified copy of the 8710 from the FAA to take with you to your interview. This essentially is the 'official' FAA record of your hours.
