Thinkpads Forum

Hello,

I have a T60 with the old IBM ThinkPad stickers on the outside of the LCD lid and on the palmrest. I see that one can easily buy these stickers on eBay and they come in both old IBM style and new, with the big ThinkPad logo.

So I was wondering if there is a difference in dimensions between the old and new style logos. Can I buy a new style ones and just replace them?

Thanks a bunch.

New "ThinkPad T series" logo and old "IBM ThinkPad" logo are of the same size. Buy with confidence.

BTW, most people here seem to prefer the old logo.

Thanks for confirming.

I'm also not sure which ones I like better. I might just buy them since they are dirt cheap and decide after I have a chance to see them on my ThinkPad.

Pay attention to the following:

The "Thinkpad T/R Series" and the "IBM Thinkpad" stickers are indeed the same size and interchangeable. However these stickers were only used on T6x/R6x.

The new T/Rx00 models come with just "Thinkpad", and this sticker is not the same size/shape. It is just a rectangular sticker which is not interchangeable with any of the old stickers.

Also note, that the stickers for the X series and the docking stations are also different (i.e. "IBM Thinkpad" is not interchangeable between an X-series and a T-series).

New versions of the docking stations, even those for T6x/R6x/Z6x also come with the rectangular "Thinkpad" sticker, which is not interchangeable with old "IBM Thinkpad" stickers.

I see.

I just bought these "ThinkPad Tseries" stickers. The auction says it fits all ThinkPads from T2x to T6x so it should be ok.
