The black matte one used to be gold and shiny before it went in and out of the case a couple of thousand times...

I have seen two 15C logos, one embossed base metal, the other solid plastic. Which came first?

Hi,

I think the metal one came first,
as my first 11C which I bought in 1981 or 82 came
with the shiny metal one.
At least I think it was metal, since it didn't wear off
even after many times of putting the calc in and out of the case,
and the plastic logos don't have an even surface.

Remember the HP-48SX?
This calc also has the HP logo as a separate embossed metal piece,
whereas the 48S and the later G/G+/GX have the logo printed on.
This reduced cost, but doesn't look as good as on the SX, of course.

There seems to be an explanation for the 48S logo (see difference #6 in this post). Unfortunately, it became a habit :-(

Hi,

maybe there were different versions of the separate HP logo.
The one I have from an opened SX is definitely made of thin metal,
whereas JKH writes about a plastic one, See (6) in his article.
