Let your Mac boot in style with BootXChanger, a simple application that allows you to replace the gray apple with something with a bit more pizzazz.
You can choose from a variety of images, including the colored Apple logo, the Happy Mac and more, or make your own if you’re feeling extra adventurous.
Plus, it’s hard to go wrong with a price of free.

If you’d like to give your Apple laptop a little something special, then check out the instructions for adding a custom LCD screen into the Apple logo area.
The mod involves replacing the standard logo light with a tiny LCD screen, and actually seems pretty straight forward as long as you’re comfortable with a little warranty voiding, so crack open your case and get hackin!

It’s always nice to get a peak behind the scenes of a new application before it hits the market, because you can see some of the decisions that the designers made to get to the final product, and you can imagine what decisions you yourself would have made in their shoes.
Sebastiaan de With of Cocoia recently worked with Phill Ryu and Andrew Kaz to create Classics, a new book reading app for the iPhone, and Sebastiaan shares the steps involved in creating the app design, creating the logo, and creating the overall look and feel of the app on his blog.

Red Bull and Cocoon Branding have teamed up to create a rather unique DJ table for Red Bull Canada.
The goal was to create “a stylized yet functional DJ table that would represent Red Bull’s sponsorship of an actual nightlife experience”, and I think they succeeded quite nicely.
In addition, there were some interesting guidelines for the project that Red Bull wanted to meet: The table had to avoid blatant representation of Red Bull – including their trademark blue and aluminum packaging colours or an obvious bull motif.
The end result is a table that is more of an homage to DJs than to Red Bull.
The slotted cutouts are a nod to the days of vinyl, and provide ventilation for the modern DJ’s laptop, the illuminated Red Bull logo can be swapped out during the day for a more subtle look, and a ‘unique’ cut-out ‘down there’ confirms that the table is, in fact, a bull, and not a cow.
