MacBook Mod: See How Easily You Can Get Your Own Apple Logo

Unfortunately incompatible with the coloured clamshell G3's but there coloured anyway... powerbook G4 looks mental cool!

Awesome. I love this touch. Thanks!

amazing. im gunna try the retro mod on my macbook.

would be nice if you included INSTRUCTIONS how to do this! :(

yeah...can we say "instructions"?

does this void warrenty

here are the macbook instructions. macbook pro, ibook, and powerbook instructions are also available on this site.

according the the icolours website, it does void the warranty.

very nice but not so easy on macbooks ( will void warranty, thus apple care)... http://www.faunkyapples.com : easy and safe

How 2 do the retro one on 13" MacBook ?

Any ideas how the retro logo was made? Seems a little more complicated than having a single color logo...but would look awesome!

Would love to try this, but not enough to void my warranty. Maybe after the Apple Protection Plan has expired...

What is if i dont have a Macbook (bcause i have a Macbook Pro) how can i do it then

Lol i just did this on my macbook a few days ago, and just came upon this. It looks awesome! and people stare a lot more hah, good job though

Is There other websites that have all different colours to put on apple logo?

This is pretty good I guess... for an amateur.

Go to iColours.ca :]

very nice mod infact one of the classyest

the retro one could be achieved by gluing strip of the colored transparency paper to a white sheet. You would have to glue two or three strips of each to achieve a bold color. Is this correct? Anyway i am wicked jealous of the retro and can't wait to give this a crack on my 13inch macbook. Does anyone have a tried and test way of achieving the retro look?

hi

apple

coulour nice

hi

amizing i am guna try this

yea baby

After taking the bezel off (of the Macbook), well, good luck getting it back on without gluing it. The clips bend no matter how careful you are and you won't be able to get it back on without taking the clips off and gluing it back on, or buying a new bezel. I would think twice about doing it, mine looks cool, but I wouldn't do it again...

hey guys, it is a very bad idea to put colour transperacy paper behind the casing as it could melt or even catch fire from the inside of the macbook from the overheating.
Unfortuantly we do not warranty items destroyed in this way

yours sincerely. . . . . Kurt Robinson

full of shit kurt robinson, what do you think makes it white? retard!

This seems kindof pointless. Sure it looks cooler but sure to kill warranty/applecare unless you somehow get the Apple store to do it for you. I just painted mine and it looks cool too, maybe not *as* cool but it draws a lot of looks.

fatttttttttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

fatyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

rainbow and glowing blue look nice

WTF

the blue's pretty chill. i dunno though. macbook pro with a void warranty is a bad scene.

Is the iBook the older Mac without the Photo-booth, Garageband, ect?

how do you make the rainbow one??
and would the rainbow one look good on a black macbook???

LOL, Laughed my ass off on Kurt Robinson's comment. And the one after that.
Oh, and Kurt, you really are a Dumb Fu*k Pal. Seriously, stay away from Mod/Tweak sites. It is bad for your mental health. Especially when you come back to read quotes on your comment , like this one. LMAO.

Can you please including any german instructions how to do this?
That would be very nice and helpfull for many apple users from switzerland austria and germany..... im sure.

dpn't think it would void the warranty unless the problem is with the screen. I work as an Apple Technical Support agent for desktops, portables, airports and ipod nanos.... so, unles the problem s with the screen we are all safe here.. I've taken calls from people who have mod their desktops to some sorta alien machines..
hav fun!!! i will keep comming back to this page for the follow ups if anyone have any doubts...

or if u need a replacement of the portable..then probably the warranty would come into existence.. but if its just a minor hardware problem like...for eg. the HDD prob..then its ok...

I just like my white apple and doesnt want to void my warranty

blowme!

YOU DIRTY PIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

i like the red the best with the black macbook.

The green mac logo is AWESOME!

this IS HARD TO DO, it also voids your warrenty and can come out bad !

but i did it !

Step by step -

* Remove the thin cover around your screen, bit of force but it does come off.

* unscrew about 20 screws.

* fold the monitor down (very carefully)

* Dont touch where it says DO NOT TOUCH ! lol

* Break away the plastic seal thing and rip it off.

* Use sand paper to gring off the white plastic stuff glued down (this takes at least 15-30 mins and is the hardest part)

* Apply a Blue (for example) piece of translucent paper over the back of the apple logo and fix with tape.

* Screw back in the monitor

* Put back on the flimsy plastic stuff.

( I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO PEOPLE WITH OUT BRAINS AND BALLS ) in a non sexist way !

Is it possible to make only the border coloured?
On the white macbook the logo is not clear enough i think.
If i would have a black macbook, i would skip this mod.

But becaus i have a white, i'm interested making a coloured border on it.

well I dont care if you have a white so shut the hell^^^^^^

Looks fantastic. I like the green one, should look good on my white Macbook. But I'll wait until my warranty is up, just in case. :-)

You can use almost anything to do this, don't waste 5 bucks on "special" paper, and it doesn't have to be translucent, just on the thinner side so the light shines through. If you don't care about the light then prob even thicker paper will work. I have a small piece of wrapping paper of which I liked the design in mine. It has been in there for over a year and no problems (read cumbustion) whatsoever.

Fat jim swears alot. It's probably because he's so fat...

well why dont you shut the hell up Emburst or I will come and smash your face in . please write back you fat pile of crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i HATE you . PLEASE WRITE BACK
