Why the Matter logo was everywhere at CES 2023
AR/VR/MX took center stage at CES 2023. Automotive trends got a lot of love, as well, as did robotics and the metaverse. Heck, even pee-related gadgets had their moment to shine last week in Vegas. Another trend, however, was ever-present, if decidedly more understanded. The last few years have been a roller coaster for the […]

Backlit Apple Logo Could Make a Comeback on Future MacBooks
Once a common sight in coffee shops everywhere, the glowing emblem of an Apple logo featured on the lids of many Mac laptops launched in the early 2000s, but its demise in 2015 could turn out to be relatively short-lived.
Filed by Apple in May 2022 and published last week by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a new patent summarizes various implementations of “Electronic Devices With Backlit Partial Mirror Structures,” but the illustrated example leaves readers in little doubt about the specific use case Apple has in mind.
“An electronic device such as a laptop computer or other device may have a housing. Components such as a display and keyboard may be mounted in the housing. The rear of the housing may be provided with a logo. The logo or other structures in the device may be provided with a backlit partially reflective mirror. The mirror may provide the logo or other structures with a shiny appearance while blocking interior components from view. At the same time, the partial transparency of the mirror allows backlight illumination from within the device to pass through the mirror.”
“One or more thin-film layers may be configured to provide the partially reflective mirror with desired visible light reflection spectrum, a desired visible light transmission spectrum, and a desired visible light absorption spectrum. The reflectivity of the mirror may be configured so that the mirror serves as a one-way mirror for the logo or other structure. The mirror may have a neutral color such as light gray or may have a non-neutral color such as gold.”
Patently Apple, which first highlighted the document, notes that three of the engineers listed on the patent only joined Apple in 2018, long after the backlit logo was dropped from Mac laptops, indicating that a different methodology is being described.
The first Mac laptop with a lit-up Apple logo was the third-generation PowerBook G3 launched in 1999, and the glowing symbol proved a mainstay through consecutive Apple notebooks for the next 16 years. The only change in that period was that the logo got flipped upright, so that it no longer appeared upside down to onlookers when someone was sat in public with the lid open.
In 2015, Apple began nixing the illuminated insignia from its laptops, starting with the ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook, which had a polished metal logo instead, like those seen on iPads. In 2016, a new generation of MacBook Pro models continued the unlit trend, and Apple hasn’t launched a Mac laptop with a glowing logo since.

People are only just realizing what the Walmart logo means & it isn’t a flower
WALMART is the go-to store for many shoppers across the globe thanks to the wide range of groceries, home goods, clothing and more.
The retailer’s logo is also incredibly easy to spot with its recognizable yellow “flower” design, however, it’s actually much deeper than you think
Before 2008, the Walmart logo featured a star as a hyphen in between the store name[/caption]
The logo was changed to reflect the store’s “renewed sense of purpose”[/caption]
Shoppers may remember the days when the Walmart logo was simply the name hyphenated with a star in between “Wal” and “Mart.
But since 2008, the logo is just the unhyphenated store name followed by the yellow flower or burst.
Walmart revealed that its logo isn’t actually a flower, but is a “spark,” and it was inspired by the store’s founder himself.
“It’s a symbol of the spark of inspiration Sam Walton had when he opened his very first store,” according to a company statement obtained by Good Housekeeping.
“It’s a symbol of all of the great ideas that have helped to develop our company over the years. And it’s a symbol of the inspiration that’s inside all of us.”
The company shared that each leg of the spark represents one of Walmart’s key values: customer, respect, integrity, associates, service, and excellence.

Additionally, Walmart said in a statement that the new logo was to symbolize their newly enhanced stores.
“This update to the logo is simply a reflection of the refresh taking place inside our stores and our renewed sense of purpose to help people save money so they can live better.”
Meanwhile, Walmart announced a major update after it was forced to close hundreds of stores – Target and Home Depot are also following suit.
Also, a Walmart shopper found a secret clearance item listed at $897 for just $5 – people always miss out on these crazy deals but it’s easy to find them.
