Intro: How To: Change the Logo of a Macbook 13"

hi! just to let you know, this is my first instructable and im dutch :)

this is a really simple instructable to change the color of the macbook 13" logo

ALL ON OWN RISK, AND NOT MY FAULT WHEN YOU COME WITH A COLORED APPLELOGO TO THE MACHOUSE AND THEY LAUGH AT YOU!

STEP 1: Open the Macbook.

its very simple! first remove the white case from the screen. but make sure that you dont break any of the clips on the back of it, this can cause some trouble when putting it back on. then you see a metal frame around the screen with screws in it. remove all the screws and make sure that you dont lose them! except some screws that i marked on the pictures.

STEP 2: Get Behind the Screen.

when you removed the screws just take the whole frame out. look out that the magnets stay in the case! now lay the screen and the frame on the keyboard. dont touch anything of the back of the screen!!!! now you're behind the screen :)

STEP 3: Make It Colored!

just take some plastic post it's or something else that is in the color you like, not to thick and made of plastic! make sure that its made of plastic! just tape it on the apple and close it!

STEP 4: Close It.

just do the steps 1 and 2 but then reverse :)

easy huh!
everybody can do this i'm a 13 year old teenager so thats the proof! ;)

I think it looks alright but i would feel i little embarrassed to be a dude and have Macintosh with a rainbow on it if i get one i might make mines black good idea.

I actually used colored sharpies, but the effect is the same.
First, that is not the original logo, but it is still funny.
Second, this only works in low light places.
I assume that is why you took the pictures in such levels.
Maybe if you took off the black plastic thing, as it has an opaque plastic layer to obscure the light further.
