I think that the "Typeset by the bidi package" message is much too modest. It should read something along the lines "Typeset by the bidi package developed by Vafa Khalighi for over 12 years without any funding or donations." In fact I think that every class/package used in a document should typeset similar wording about itself and its provenance on the top of the first page of any (All)TeX document. Many classes and packages have been developed over many more than 12 years, particularly TeX and LaTeX.

Getting the timing right with passing this option to bidi via polyglossia is a bit tricky see

the bidi author gives some justification for this here

https://github.com/tex-xet/bidi/issues/60

but to be honest I think that this is a really bad default, and polyglossia probably should disable this while loading bidi rather than rely on the user to find an undocumented option in an internally loaded package.

    After loading the polyglossia package (but before selecting a language
    that reads right-to-left) try adding

    \usepackage[logo=off]{bidi}

    Strangely the default is logo=on and the option is not documented.
