how to avoid item expansion when changing status?

When I do C-c t d (TODO -> DONE) or similar status change on a TODO item,
it accumulates meta-data like:
  CLOSED: [2014-10-26 Sun 11:25]
  - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-10-26 Sun 11:25]
So each such item "blows up" on screen from 1 line to 3 lines.

I do want to collect this data, but I do not want to necessarily see it
when I'm just marking things DONE... there is no value to me seeing this at
that point.

However, in some situations, I wish I knew which, when I change the status,
the metadata is added BUT the item remains collapsed. I'd like to have this
always happen. Can anyone suggest how to achieve this?

You could hide the state changes if you put (setq org-log-into-drawer
"LOGBOOK") in your init file. I don't know how to hide the CLOSED tag
though.
