Can you point us to a resource that would layout guidelines for placing laptop stickers in an aesthetically pleasing manner?

Good thing they're not yours, then

Most of the owners probably feel the same way about you :-)

I absolutely hate stickers too. You're not alone.

Yes it's all so tawdry. Even the one that isn't stickers but an etching, and looks somewhat visually pleasing compared to the others, has a cringe message.
