    Hi, I bought a Compal laptop and it doesn't come with the logo on the cover lid, I can even see the light from the display from the space where the logo is supposed to be, can anyone advice where I can get one?

    I don't know if that would be a problem or not. I will move this to the compal section where you'll get 2x the help from someone smarter than me. =P

    There is a space on the top of the lid (where the display is installed) for a logo, is a small box perhaps 0.5" by 1.5", since there is no logo there then I think I can see some light from the back of the LCD, I could be wrong though.

    my barebone kit came with a small compal sticker that I assume is for that slot but I put a full custom skin on the back from gelaskin.com, so I didn't even worry about it.

    It is actually not a conspicuous issue to have this small space missing a solid logo, but there is a very small whole through which I can see the light from the display, so I'm afraid dust or anything else may go in thorugh the whole and somehow affect the display.

    Just contact the dealer where you bought the notebook (barebone).
    The should provide you with a free logo, sticker or other cover.

    I did, but he wasn't of any help. I'm not more preocupied for branding than for protecting the display. I found original the idea to cover the lid with a lap skin, but I like my lap plain, althoug I may have to go in that direction if I have to.

    If you don't want a full-size skin you can try putting a stickers just the size of the empty location...
