Iconic Disc Overwrites The Glowing Apple Logo Behind Your MacBook

Here's something just about every MacBook user thought about in some way or another. Apple's signature glowing branding has ironically turned into a new platform for personalization as well as shameless re-branding. The Kickstarter product in question is called the Iconic Disc, which lets you easily customize that glowing Apple logo on the back of virtually any MacBook using a beautifully designed aluminum ring that magnetically fits over the Apple logo using harmless neodymium magnets, and with its clear acrylic lens, will essentially let you frame a personalized logo or any other graphic for that matter like the one above - which will of course glow instead of the Apple logo. The possibilities are endless. And all while the Iconic Disc beautifully matches with the bead-blasted aluminum finish of Apple's MacBooks.

The Iconic Disc is interchangeable due to its magnetic attachment, so swapping between background graphics and colors is a cinch. To set it all up, you'll need to apply a pair of metal "landing pads" on either side of the Apple logo in order for the Iconic Disc to magnetically attach onto. These have a 3M adhesive backing that will not leave any residue on the lid of your MacBook. But there's a small caveat. The glow of the Apple logo will slightly be visible as a silhouette behind the graphic and will vary differently in its illuminated intensity from one design to another. Getting rid of it entirely isn't that easy is it.

You'll have a ton of licensed images, textures and colors to pick from when ordering an Iconic Disc, including a choice of ring colors. The images are listed here. $25 will net you a DIY Iconic Disc in black or silver anodized colors, $30 includes your choice of an image, and if you'd like to send in your own image or graphic to be printed professionally for you, then $35 gets you the Iconic Disc Pro. But you could always print your own image using the provided template.

Thanks for the tip, Kyle!
