Is there a way to remove media type symbols/icon overlays ..?

I've been wanting to move over to Android Emby (mobile) from Emby Android TV, but one thing that's been preventing me is the ugly media type symbols/icon overlays on folders and video files. I have a library of NFL games and use the Home videos & photos category because I have to / choose to find and insert my own fanart. But when I go into the NFL library on each season folder is an overlay of a folder icon in the upper left corner of the season picture. And also when I drill into a season, each video file picture has a movie icon overlay in the upper left corner, too. Just ruins the aesthetic seeing those little icon overlays on everything. TV and movie libraries using their respective categories don't have the overlays. 

Is there a way to remove them?  Or could this be an added feature in a future update to toggle off?

On Emby Android TV, there are no overlays of file or video icons.

I've attached pictures to show you what I mean and I know they're from my phone's Emby, but the same app on my Nvidia Shield does the same thing.

They go away if you don't use folder view.

Hi, how would you be able to differentiate folders from files?

While this is technically true, this isn't a good solution. As pointed out previously, I use Home Video & Photos category for my football games, and my organization of files starts the category of Football, then a folder for the 3 teams I follow and each have several seasons. If I go to video view, it's just a bunch of videos with no organization of any kind.

Luke, 

It's not a matter of differentiating folders from files, it's just wanting to not have those symbols show up on my fanart. I know what are folders and what are files by the mere fact that I built the folder structure on my server and built the Library in Emby. In TV and Movie Libraries, those file and media symbols don't appear on fanart. All I'm asking is for the option to clear them from the fanart I place when using the Library category Home Video & Photos. They don't show up on the Emby Android TV app, why do they on Emby Android?

OK, more options to control this are certainly possible. Thanks.
