Rainbow MacBook decal is pretty colorful

I apologize. This post would have gone up sooner but I was busy buying one of these!

I have two stickers on my car, and they aren't really even stickers, they're static clings: TiVo, and an old style rainbow Apple logo. Yeah, I have stacks of those pretty white ones, but they aren't the same as the adorable old one. You know, the logo in the corner of all those "Think Different" posters.

I miss that logo. I understand the evolution toward the clean, modern (boring), white one, and it is lovely, but I miss the logo of the company I started with, the one that put apple-flavored adhesive on the seal of the registration card (you had to mail registrations back in the day kids, there was no internet). That was the company that put their logo (bless their hearts) upside down on their laptops for awhile.

Now you have the option of "updating" your laptop to that old look, courtesy of Etsy seller happyhe. For $3.50 (plus $5 shipping from Hong Kong), you too can rock a mind bendingly old school AND new school look at the same time. Previously, this sort of paradox was only available via TARDIS technology. I am very excited that it is now available via the postal service.

Looks like the seller is either completely out of stock or has been shutdown. :(

The color apple logos make the laptop pop more. They should come in all different colors and even photos.

I put one of the iColours in my iBook G4 a few years back. Looked awesome. Even increased the resale value on eBay when I sold it.

I got one of their plastic inserts and the result is much better than placing a sticker over the logo. These are transparent and go inside between the LCD and lid (which was an easy one minute mod for my iBook G4 but would probably be much harder with newer models, definitely not something to do if the computer is still under warranty).

Looks great. I want one, two or maybe even three.

But, OH NO... they are sold out!

Yeah, but this seems like a sticker you put on top of your MacBook. I've also seen those inserts, but those seem too tricky for me to try..

Inserts are also available from www.icolours.ca. I have the colored apple logo in my MacBook and on newer MacBooks and Pros, you have to sand off the layer of white. It's easy of you use a super fine grade sandpaper... www.icolours.ca has detailed instructions.

@Twitch: You replaced the grey apple boot logo? How did you do that?
