I've had a 20-inch cinema display for about a month now and I'm still quite regularly distracted by the glossy apple logo at the bottom of the display. I'd much prefer a matte logo in black or dark gray. Anyone else annoyed by this? Any solutions?
 
Well, sure, that would be nice. I've given it a month, though, and it still bugs me. I was just curious as to whether it bugged anyone else. At this point I'm tempted to put some electrical tape over it.
 
Take a sharpie and color it in....

I've thought about that -- but then it would still be glossy. I'm worried that it'd still reflect the glare of the papers and my white keyboard and just look worse than it does now. Painting it with a matte paint might be an option, but I'd be concerned about the potential of making a mess.
