Abstract
The presently disclosed multi-position biased rotating logo components permit an electronic device to display a logo associated with the device in a variety of positions with reference to a device housing while the device is re-positioned in different orientations. This allows the logo to maintain a desired orientation with reference to a support surface or a direction of gravity as the device is re-positioned in the different orientation. Further, the rotating logo is biased to achieve and maintain two or more preselected orientations within the housing that correspond to two or more intended orientations of the device.
