i was bored late one night so i decided to etch my company logo on my laptop. it took a really long time to think of something to put on the front.. so a tarsier stealing the “w” from arrow seemed like a good choice

    i use coreldraw to make the graphics and ULS to run the machine. its a good set up, tones of options to get what your looking for

    not in all cases. it works really well if there is a different color under the top color, then the laser just burns though the top layer to the plastic under the paint. but some times black surfaces just turn white or a shade of gray when the laser passes over it. Apple is great for this

    Very cool looking logo I must say.
    But you would need a metallic colour surface to do that right? The back of my laptop screen is black. Though the place beside the touch pad is metallic colour.

    Are Acer laptops pretty good quality? I’ve been told from every computer place I’ve been to that they’re horrbible and always break down.

    So this is like your own Laser engraving business?

  • chrisleckie said:

    yes i could have. i also have another computer that i normally use to do the etching artwork. this was a demonstration to prove that when etching electronic devices, they are not harmed. ive done 50 or so laptops and other devices and mine is the only one that has been taken apart.

    and thanks for the comment on the logo :D

    Can’t you store the etching in the machine memory so you wouldn’t have to take the laptop apart to etch the top?

    Awsome logo by the way.
