I made this Linux Mint logo emblem to cover up the Apple logo on my old MacBook that now runs Linux. I am not sure if it will cover the logo of all MacBooks but i am sure that it can be scaled to needs.

I used Prusa Slicer, to slice it, and it automatically offered the option of a color change. I used a translucent red for the lower part and a dark grey for the top. You may want to experiment a bit with the types and infills to get the appropriate effect. I used very fine layer hight as well as ironing to get a smoother surface.

Then simply glued it on top of the illuminated logo

PS: Many failed attempts went into take this fairly bad picture - i apologize but the dogs were too comfortable

    Here they are, now I need to find glue.

    This is transparent tpu. Big is straight from file, small is 2mm.

      Nice! The reason why i did a color change is that dark fillament does not let as much light through, so the logo pops a lot more than if the whole badge is illuminated. Also I have set the infill to 40% just to hide it from showing like that.

      That said, I wanted to make one where the logo is countersunk into a solid top. That might be even nicer!

      Also maybe use some temporary glue, until you settle on something that works well. I’d be afraid that the one you made, might show the apple logo too much. It will simply just shine through it
