    I like the 2end one from the bottom. with the "|o|".

    Would look pretty snazzy in one of the corners, in my opinion.

    Nice job with the paint!

    I like the pseudo-Arabic on on the bottom.

    WOW, nice job mate. I would personally go with the one on the left second from the top. The small HP.

    Wow - superb paint job! :cool: Personally, I like the small hp (second from the top, on the left) because it looks rather like the original logo, but with a unique twist.

    However, I like the second from the bottom even more - it's very stylish, and it's not immediately obvious that it says HP. Also, it reminds me a little of Sony's VAIO logo. I think that it would look great in the centre of the lid.

    Of course, it's entirely up to you! They all look groovy to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose! :)

    hey thats the color i painted my crotch rocket! Personally i don't really like any of those, i'm more of a straight lettered-big bold faced letter kinda guy. Kinda like the new Toshiba A205 how they have TOSHIBA written on the lid.

    personally, i love the bottom decal. the big HP decal on the right is too large in my opinion.

    yep, the one on the left second from the top if it was me. But that's my opinion, take it if you wish. That's a incredible paint job! What kind of paint did you use? What steps did you take? [Did you dissasemble? Then what?] Also how long did it take you?
    Srry I have a lot of questions but that's awesome!
