Old and New Apple

Tantek put an old Apple sticker (as old as me) on his iBook lit logo and you can see how they’ve changed the shape. It also just looks cool.

    At first glance it looked like a poor photoshop job but then I look backed and noticed it was real :-)

    You should add that to the flickr Macintosh group pool, it’s a great shot :)

    Man, I did that *6* months ago – got one for my 17″ pb and one for my wife’s 12″ pb.
    course mine is clean, and just the (now color) apple logo, no other stickers around or on the pb.
    My wife told me people would view it as a rainbow sticker for gays – not that there’s anything wrong with that! (gotta love seinfeld!), but I countered that it was just plain cool and that’s what mattered to me.

    At first I was dissapointed the shape was different, but I’ve come to kinda like the white edge on it.

    It’s fun having the sticker on there – really makes the pb stand out more.

    i did this about 9 months ago. guess I was ahead of the curve – should’ve taken some pics and shown off a little.
    oh well.

    check out redlightrunner.com for the stickers – the 1970’s vintage (small) stickers (you get 2 for 6.95 I think) are the same size shown in your pic…looks better with the “apple computer” text cut (carefully) off IMO.

    sorry for the double post – first comment didn’t publish (or so it seemed), then I found my email reciept and updated when I saw I’d had it longer…
    didn’t mean to ’spam’ the comments.
