Seems fair, you pay 1000 for the logo and 600 for the hardware.

It's a very nice logo. And it lights up. Hard to argue with their pricing, really.

It actually doesn't light up anymore...

For $375 you can get an iFlashlight to point at the logo

Ordered the iFleshlight. Looking forward to seeing the jealous looks I get at the coffee shop.

It's actually just the display backlight which is why I had to cover it with aluminium tape instead of just disconnecting the wire. Not only don't I want an ad on my computer I especially don't want an illuminated one.
