Magritte-book-pro

Posted by laryn, Feb 23, 2009

I generally dislike having logos on my things and would probably prefer a nice method of removing the Mac logo on my laptop so that it doesn't feel like a product placement every time I open my lid, but I have to admit, this Magritte-inspired mod is pretty clever. It's laser-etched using a technique like this.

Alternate titles:

Ceci n'est pas un Macbook Pro
Son of Mac (Note: title of Magritte's painting is "Son of Man") See this also.

Originals here and here. Etching instructions found via here, and I was originally put on this trail by this guy.

Removing Branding from macbook

Should you upgrade to the unibody macbook pro you can get a black speck cover. They say the covers are see thu, but really they are not very much and you can place a pice of card between the logo and cover to stop the light showing though. I must say I do like the mod, not near as much as I like the work of Magritte.

Good Design
