Don't put the Dell logo upside down on the Mini Inspiron By jervis961,  May 29, 2008

I didn't notice this last night as I was checking out the pictures of the new Dell Mini but it was pointed out by JamesWeb on Dell's "yourblog" that the Dell logo is upside down.



Please don't leave the logo like that, it looks bad.

DELL/ Status Update

The Mini launched with the Dell logo facing the right direction on 9/4/08

They could leave the circle out altogether and make a smooth lid. Mysterious and cost effective.

:-D ... now we just need a way to interpret "Dell" from that! Still, "Dell" could be inscribed UPON that - twice. Of course, then you'd have various fundamentalist groups complaining... loudly. You can NEVER please EVERYONE.

Nope but upside down is bad marketing. It would be like flying the American flag upside down.

Right. But as already pointed-out, it's only upside-down when OPEN. So your FIRST view is correct. You don't SEE it after that (tho others will, of course, if on that side of your laptop... in an airplane, they WON'T be). I still say this is silly.

Dell doesn't care what we (the owners) see they are marketing their brand. They do care about what the other people looking at our computers see though and this makes Dell look like they accidentally installed it wrong. They already have a bad rep and this wouldn't help.

A rotating logo? Come on: this isn't a $300k Rolls Royce Phantom, it's a $300 Dell. Cool as it might be, it's not worth the cost. Anyway, my vote is for the logo to appear right-side up when the top is open.

a bit more than that aikiwolfie... more like 6% I thought and ~66% of recent > $1,000. sales.

i just know someone with a 1500. and since the 1500 has it the right way around, i would guess the rest of the old vostros has it right aswell.
