To remove/disassociate the photo on your Google Account Profile:

when you are signed into a Google service and click your avatar/photo in a Google service, click the Google + Profile link from the dropdown menu that appears.
Then click the "Edit Profile" button that appears.
In the popup window, rather than clicking the photo, click the "i" information icon (bottom right of attached screenshot).
On the "About Me" page that opens, click the edit icon at the right of the banner.
Now click the edit link on either photo. At the bottom of the popup, you'll see a NO PHOTO button.

The method mentioned by Anson W Han seems to no longer work as the button has disappeared. But the following method worked for me:

Go to https://get.google.com/albumarchive/ to find all your albums stored on Google.
Go into the album called "Profile Photos"
Delete the profile photo that is currently in effect, or perhaps all of them (you may need to click on the photo and focus on it before you can find the delete option).
Your profile will now be displayed with just a character, as is the default.
