    Does anyone know how to remove the Livestrong logo from an L2000? I tried using some spray called lift off 2 that claims to remove adhesives and stickers, but it just made the logo on the front of the notebook faded and dotty after multiple attempts.

    What kind of sticker/decal is used on the livestrong logo? Perhaps if I could find that out, I could find an applicable remover.

    I have nothing personal against the livestrong foundation, I just want my notebook to look as sleek as possible! ;)

    Huh, I thought it was printed on, not a decal. That might explain the difficulty in removing it.

    I, too, was under the impression that it was printed on.

    I think your next move is going to have to be painting your computer. Good luck!

    Ah, good news. After trying various chemicals, I successfully used 91% isopropyl alcohol to get the large "livestrong" logo off the front. Looks great. Unfortunately, nothing will work on the inside paint. I am pretty sure all the paint on the inside is under a layer of lacquer.
