Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

[Trash80toG4]

Looking at all the photos shared here, it seems like there might be three different sticker versions over time.

A fourth is apprently needed:

Stretch the "Rainbow Block" side to side for registration error on that axis.
Stretch the blue stripe down on the vertical axis for same.
Stretch the green stripe down to touch the yellow stripe and stretch the top to a bit past where the leaf ends for same.
Maybe stretch the the whole thing across the sticker providing for several attempts.

Create the graphic to size for export to thumb drive, posting it surreptitiously online.

Take sheet and thumb drive to anyone who has a film cutter at home or any sign shop.

Print entire sheet of full width "RainbowBlocks" at different heights with graphic files to match. "Bananamac" cut file required.

...the only legitimate way ...

Striving to obey mankind's endlessly growing rules, laws and regulations is important to avoid trouble in life, but here lies the irony. Had there been no illegitimate BLUE BOXES, Apple would never had existed and you and I wouldn't be talking about logos today as a result:

“Experiences like that taught us the power of ideas. The power of understanding that if you could build this box, you could control 100’s of billions of dollars around the world, that’s a powerful thing. If we wouldn’t have made blue boxes, there would have been no Apple."

Am I trying to justify illegal actions? No. But I present that historical fact to pry open the rigid mind, especially the type of mind we've large come to have after being strongly influenced by the severe rule-based culture here in Japan, where I have lived continuously since 1994.

People in the vintage Mac community want an authentic looking replica, and if they are absolutely honest, they will tell you they want that regardless of whether the logos used are legitimately used or not. Saying that is not me encouraging the bad boys who use logos without permission. Nope. Not saying that. I am just giving you facts.

Nobody goes out and buys a cute Mac "clone/toy" and screams, "I love it BECAUSE of the TOTALLY AWESOME X-shaped rainbow logo on it!" Nobody. We tend to buy those things IN SPITE OF the inauthentic-but-legitimate logos, and sometimes we privately print or make our own authentic (and technically illegitimate) ones to make the toy look better.

And so...

Obey rules.
Try to live in peace with others.
But be honest and keep it real.

I think there lies a distinction between creative license for self use, and mass production. The MaClock is a mass (or limited) production where it should not break the laws and illegally use the Apple logo. Now if I were to 3D print my own, for my own use, and not resell it, then who would be the wiser? I have created my own miniature replicas with the apple shaped logo, but I am not selling any of them to others.

Oh I agree that there is a distinction. I wrote all that only because @NiziMac also lives in Japan, and extreme adherence to RULES (spoken or otherwise) is dominant in the culture here. It was my way of saying, "Let's ease up on beating that Legal Beagle drum."
