The last visible clue that 815 Bolyston Street (Boston) will be an Apple store has been deleted with a paint brush bucket of red paint. A small white Apple logo on a red sign in front of the store was painted over sometime during the past week, shortly after a photo of the sign was posted here. However, the sign still has the word “Retail” taped over the word “Apple,” and the names of Apple’s architectural and construction companies. The paint-over demonstrates the lengths to which Apple will go to prevent an under-construction store from carrying the company’s brand until it’s completely finished and in perfect condition. Meanwhile, inside the building the heating/air-conditioning is installed, but the interior is otherwise bare. [before paint-over]

I was in Boston in December, and went looking for the Bolyston Street store because it was in the area (didn’t know it hadn’t been completed yet!)
I’d thought the Apple logo I saw on the sign out the front was a sticker actually, given its tiny size. As in, the sort you get with a MBP. I assumed some fanboy had helpfully put it there. Maybe they just peeled it off?
That was not an official Apple logo…it was placed there by a fan, it indeed was a sticker that was included with product. So again Apple in no way put their logo anywhere on here all they did was remove a sticker than a “fan” put up there. [IFO -- Ha!]
