Abstract

An indicium (e.g., logo) for an electronic device includes multiple layers of material bonded together, with at least one of the layers having a relatively higher thermal conductivity than the other layers. Using the layer with the higher thermal conductivity, the indicium may direct heat away from a heat-generating component and distribute the heat to a housing of the electronic device. In order to provide a particular appearance, the indicium may include a layer that covers the relatively higher thermally conductive layer. Based on the higher thermally conductive layer, the indicium may limit or prevent heat flow through the layer covering the thermally conductive layer.
