The shirts are white cotton of good quality and I don’t want to throw them away, I would like to remove the embroidered logo in the shirt pocket. If you have a trick please let me know, or know of some tool I can use.

It depends on the size of the logo. You could use a sewing needle or a seam ripper is the best tool that Tailors and seamstress use.

Buy a seam ripper. You can buy them at any store that sells sewing supplies (from Hobby Lobby to Walmart). They are inexpensive and effective.
But, no matter what, the shirt will look funny since the whole thing is embroidered. You’re better off taking off the whole pocket itself. You can use the seam ripper for that, too.

First off be very patient. Most embroidered designs are done with a lock stitch technique which means that every stitch must be individually removed. With that said, you should definitely invest in an inexpensive seam ripper (1 to 2 dollars tops) as they have a fine tip and razor edge to cut rather than pull the thread.
Once you have removed all the threads, you should steam the area so that the individual fibers begin to come together to hide the place where the logo was. The really tricky part is making the area where the stitching used to be look like the rest of the shirt. Give it time, a few washes and ironings and you should be fine.
