Apple Stickers: What do you use them for?

Mine are in the boxes. I was put off from using stickers anywhere because I had used Skullcandy stickers on iPhone cases before and they ended up looking filthy and worn within weeks. I would imagine the white Apple ones would be as bad!
 
I've recently come into a bunch of old stickers (a neighbor had a ton of them and decided to do some housecleaning) to augment my little collection. People that know me know that I like Apple stuff, so whenever they get a new iPhone or Mac, they usually throw the stickers my way. I've got entirely too many of them now >_>

I am slowly finding homes for some of them now!

I'd had one on my car for years, but years in the Florida sun weren't kind to it.

Fortunately, it got replaced recently with a fresh old one.

I've got a couple in my classroom; one was used to spiffy up a clock, one on an old cabinet that I brought in from the computer shop I used to work at, another because it fit nicely on the sign marking my little office.

I first put one in the rear window of my car, before everyone had iPhones. 😉 I found one of those vintage rainbow Apples and put it on the rear window of my Fiat 500 in 2012. It’s still there. 🙂

Oddly enough, despite how much Apple stuff I own, I've only gotten two items new.
From the first set: I stuck one on my Thinkpad x61. I gave the other to my mom as she's an Apple fan from way back.
From the second set: I had to get a new display for my Thinkpad after an accident happened with it, so I stuck a new one on it and the other one is sitting in my desk drawer awaiting a worthy use. 😉
 
Every time I get a new apple laptop or iPad, I start a small note book with specs and things I want to remember or new things I’ve learned. I always put a sticker on the cover.

I have a drawer full of these things going way back..... Love 'em! When I bought my M1 Space Grey MBP at the end of December 2020 it came with a pair of Space Grey Apple stickers, and I have only just recently gotten around to placing one of those stickers on my 2021 Space Grey Honda Civic Sport Hatchback's bumper.....the Apple logo in that sticker's space grey color very tastefully blends in with the car and yet at the same time is there signaling that I'm a fan of Apple products..... 🙂
 
Mine usually stay in the box and then a few years down the line I throw the box and it’s contents out lol. I’ve never used them as I have no idea why I’d want to stick an Apple logo on something I own.
 
My House is has tons of apple sticker decorations

If anyone is complaining that there is no apple logo on the Front of the new iMac tell them to put a Apple sticker on it
 
It's so thieves know there is a fairly expensive piece of equipment they can steal.

I have no idea where you are meant to put them - I even asked my wife (and she knows everything).
 
The only Apple stickers worth displaying are the original rainbow stickers from the the "Apple Computer Inc" era.

The modern plain white stickers are bland and uninspired.

Those were by far the best, and the best logo on the Apple II - Lisa(?) computers themselves.
 
For every product I have, I keep a 3x5 Field Notes book. I keep track of thing I’ve learned, fixes I’ve made and any information that helps me use the Apple Product. The Apple sticker goes on the cover with a written description of the contents.

I also do this for some of the more complicated appliances and devices that I have in my home

The rainbow Apple logo actually lasted all the way up to the era of the PowerMacs, Performas, Quadras, LCIIIs, etc. I have an old PowerBook G3 (thick black laptop, weighs close to 10 pounds, has a removable DVD-drive etc) that was manufactured during the era of MacOS 8 and 9, and it has that rainbow logo.

I believe the monotone (one-color) Apple logo started appearing embedded on Macs starting with the original Bondi blue iMacs? Someone correct me if you recall otherwise.
