engrave your book/tech

1203.jpg
i am so, so digging this new service offered by joe mansfield at engrave your book and engrave your tech. whether you’re an artist or want to choose from some pre-made designs, joe can engrave your moleskine notebook, laptop, ipod or iphone with gorgeous patterns that beat the heck out of those stickers you can buy at the store. if i did my own designs i’d be running out right now to engrave my laptop with something cool. not a bad way to promote your work, either. i can see the subway conversion: “hey, cool ipod- where’d you get that version?” “well, actually it’s my work, here’s my card.” click here to check out the book and tech options that joe offers. [thanks, joe!]

Probably the world’s dumbest question…but I wonder if the engraving will impact the manufacturer’s warranty?

I do love the designs on the laptops and macs. Woderfully delicious.

Looks great with engraving, but I would prefer colorware for macbook air.

I saw these, and I absolutely love them! I would get them on my ipod, because I am too attached to my white mac laptop to put anything on it!

This is why I think the Zune is so cool - have you seen all of the neat things they can do to personalize it?

Surprising to see that last picture, there is coat of arms of Finland, and that Suomi stands for Finland in finnish. Beautifully done, but I assume that who ordered this engraving, must be little bit more patriotic than average Finn… :)

I love those engravings, very good idea!

@cindy
I was looking at some blogs that also mentioned getting their laptops engraved by this company and it doesn’t void the warranty. I guess someone had to bring theirs in to the Mac store for something and they didn’t care at all. They treat it like a scratch on the top, just a cosmetic thing.

Hello all, thanks for the wonderful feedback!
Pricing and other info can be found at www.engraveyourtech.com for the laptops/tech stuff and www.engraveyourbook.com for the engraved notebooks.
I’m located in beautiful Portland, Oregon, and am curating an artist series for both laptops and notebooks, so If you have any stellar designs, I offer 15% royalties.

@Tim
Colorware seems like an awesome service, combine that with engraving and we’re golden.

Thanks!

My husband actually found this online last week. We both thought it was so awesome. Need to have it done ASAP. But we were told it DID void the warranty. Hmmmmmm…….

BRILLIANT!

This site always amazes me. The artist, Joe has created something bigger than he’ll be able to handle by himself. This is just great stuff.
Anyway, I am always taken back by the work and great things you find. Keep up the great work!
