Please tell me what you guys feel about this vinyl sticker for an MBP

Well, I haven't seen Snow White, but Iron Man was definitely great! Still, no stickers on my MBPs.
Some people go to the extent of coloring their Macs (!) but I'm not that crazy.
Like I said in the OP, I'm not a big fan of stickers at all either but these decals are organic and are easily removable, and they don't leave any residue.
There is a reason why I want to put up a sticker. I'm a photojournalist and we have photography workshops. After a day's shoot we return to a seminar hall where everyone has their notebooks on a long table, and I need to go around looking at peoples' work and refer them to mine.
There have been occasions where I was hopelessly looking for my computer in the middle of 35 other MBPs so I would stick up a yellow paper with some duct tape on mine. I figured this would be a more elegant solution. Only difference is I would think twice before actually taking it off.

Here's one of my other favorites, "Snow White's Revenge"
and another Iron Man, monochrome this time
I have never been a fan of sticking things onto my notebook or iPhone but this one has really got me wrapped up. I feel like buying it, although would rather have it in black to contrast the fine details.
What do you think about it ? First impressions in a few words ?
This is the Serpent provoking Eve to eat the Fruit of Knowledge.
Thanks ! (Click for larger image)
I like it, but it would have been a bit nicer if the messy top half wasn't there. Looks like someone spilled correction fluid all over a nice MB.
Its supposed to be foliage from the Garden of Eden.. hehe.. anyways, what would you say if the whole thing was black, much like the ones above ? I don't like it being white at all, so I asked the seller if he can print one out in black for me, he said he'd be glad to.

I don't normally care for "stickers" on things but I don't consider these to be the same thing. The one with Eve and snake is okay. I like the Iron Man one better but that's just me. Since you're a photojournalist do you have a logo, if so, maybe you could have one of these places make you a sticker of it for your MacBook? Or how about having one of your photos made into a full color sticker? Both would be more unique IMHO.
Unfortunately I'm a freelancer who's hired by magazines and establishments, I don't have a company of my own, so no logo. And making a sticker off one of my photographs and flashing it on my notebook would scream "proud bastard" to others. You won't believe how sensitive people are these days.
Also its a hassle finding a sticker printer or paper and having to worry about whether or not it would come off properly. I'm just looking for an easy yet unusual way out. I decided to go with this one, I like it a lot. Thanks !
The one im currently sporting, nice, clean and simple
That one is awesome! I'm considering buying it.
I hate stickers, but that is just so small, slick and witty. I love it.
I like itOP.
The colored stickers (Iron Man, Snow White) etc. look tacky. This however feels like it actually belongs on the MBP.
It's a nice way to stand out from other's MBPs.
I would never pay over $20 for it though because you'll probably get sick of it and remove it in about nine months.
How much is it costing you?
Falch, your Apple Pie sticker is ridiculously awesome.
The second one I don't like as much. I don't get the joke if there is joke there. More importantly, I'm not a big fan of having black on there though. Black clashes with white and silver.
Black and Silver looks awesome. White and Silver looks awesome. Black and White looks awesome.
But all three colors together look tacky imho.

I like it- but I'd wait for the updated model to come out. From what I hear it could be around the iPad release...
These are all around $10 or $12. If you liked the Apple Pi one, check out this one, its a step better
The original decal I posted reminded me of Apple's first logo (below), the Issac Newton one. Some people don't know about it at all. It has a sort of ancient, artistic, "contemporary" feel to it. It stands out at the difference between cartoon and art, art as in paintings. The ironman or lego-man are just cartoons. This is different. That's why I like it so much.
If the whole thing was black it'd change from correction fluid to permanent marker vandalism
Haha, kidding. The snake/Eve one would look much better in black I think.
Just sent for the homer simpson decal.

I think the iron man limits your macbook pro.. homer is cool whatever age group, while iron man is more juvenile

Gee, I've been called a lot of things, but being on the other side of 50 I've never been called juvenile. To each their own.

If someone made a sticker of a guy sitting beneath the apple logo reading a book, I'd be interested.
My point was that Iron Man appeals to a much more limited audience than the Simpsons. I am under 20, and I appreciate classical music. You happen to be over 50, and like Iron Man. We are both not part of a majority.
