Custom Metaboxes Checkboxes

I cant seem to figure out how to echo checkboxes?

I have a setting on pages to hide the logo. I have the code below in a css/php file

<?php if ( $meta_boxes ['wpex_hide_logo'] == '1') { echo "#logo {display:none !important;}";} ?>

Currently using CMB2 https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2

For refrence

$meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'            => 'wpex-hide-meta',
        'title'         => __( 'Feature Settings', 'wpex' ),
        'pages'         => array( 'page' ),
        'context'       => 'normal',
        'priority'      => 'high',
        'show_names'    => true,
        'fields'        => array(

            array(
                'name' => __( 'Test Checkbox', 'cmb2' ),
                'desc' => __( 'field description (optional)', 'cmb2' ),
                'id'   => $prefix . 'hide_logo',
                'type' => 'checkbox',
            ),
),
);

Getting closer

This hides the logo even if the check box is not checked

<?php if($wpex_hide_logo = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpex_text', true )) {echo "#logo {display:none !important;}";} ?>

Figured it out 

<?php if(get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpex_hide_logo', true )) {echo "#logo {display:none !important;}";} ?>
