iPhone or Newton?

Many readers of TUAW have probably only bought Apple gear with the monochromatic Apple logo we have all come to know and love, but Apple's original (ok, second) logo was a little more colorful. Those of us who have been around the Mac for awhile have a warm place in our hearts for the multihued 'classic' Apple logo, and it would see that Mark at Geektechnique has that soft spot.

Mark got his hands on an iPhone with a slightly cracked faceplate, so he did what any self respecting hardware hacker would do: painted it black and added an Apple logo from an old Apple Extended Keyboard he had around. The results, which you can see above or on his blog, are striking and harken back to Apple's first handheld computer.
