No thanks

I would rather save the battery life.

This. It also would bother me because it would look garish. I paid for my BlackBerry device for personal use, not to be an advertisement for BlackBerry. They would have to pay me to advertise for them by turning my phone into a miniature billboard.

Wouldn't be forced..even so

every branded product is a 'miniature billboard'. The OP just directed it in the context of publicising BlackBerry, but for others it would just be a fun feature, and for others it would be(if implemented in the way I described above) a useful feature especially accompanied with the rumoured settings that do something with the phone when face down, this would allow those who wanted to, the ability to distinguish incoming messages, I prefer that to having it on all the time..

I love this idea, BlackBerry logo glow in the dark when I'm using it. But have the option to turn this offer the sake of such user above my comment.

How about instead of illuminated, they move the bb logo HIGHER on the back of the device, say, opposite the camera...

Yeah. I've never liked the placement of the current logo location, especially when I'm on a call and my hand is covering 80% of the device. "Is that an iPhone?"

Would be nice to see the blackberry logo stamps lit up on devices while in use. Free marketing and would make them more identifiable in the public eye. Perhaps one on the front below the keyboard, and maybe unlikely, but on the back also..

I like that idea.

It is giving me some thoughts.

Nice thought. But a toggle button is must. Won't want to drain my battery unnecessarily. And of course change the light colour option too!

I'm thinking if using 7 RGB LED's with an Arduino micro and coin battery. Or even a attiny. Total cost would be about 8 bucks all done and said. You could also add a 5 cent light sensor.

Would make an easy little side project. A person could build it into a case of they wanted.

Love the idea and I doubt it would use much battery.

Thisthisthisthis! Then colours could be clearer, and could even have different patterns! BlackBerry pattern, bbm icon pattern! Twitter pattern So even if you forgot the colour you can see what kind of message it is!

Instead of Swarovski crystals it could be the KermEd light shine!

I think if people care enough to look at your phone then they'll know it's a BlackBerry. A light up logo won't fix anything.

[ArjunMC]

If I am a non- BlackBerry user who doesnt even know about BlackBerry 10(maybe a droid fan) and I see a BlackBerry logo lighting up, I would definitely think it is cool and I'll think like 'BlackBerry still got it'. So the next time I see a BlackBerry some where I would take a closer look and BAM! I see the new BlackBerry 10 OS. Then I would go for a hands-on with BlackBerry and you all know what happens next! Ditch my old phone for a BlackBerry.
It's called marketing!!!

I'm sure I could find a LED thing with a button cell battery and get a plastic blackberry logo thing to stick on that LED thing and it'll glow when turned on. Not a bad idea to be honest, especially if it's on the smartphone and only turns on when the device is being used and doesn't impact the battery life at all either. Don't they have ultra low powered bright LED's that light up bright but make the battery last for more than a few days if forgotten to be turned off?

People don't think "BlackBerry's still got it" though... it sucks but it's true. Honestly, showing the BlackBerry logo could be bad just because of the negative press that BlackBerry has been getting. BlackBerry is not a likeable brand anymore therefore a light up logo wouldn't do much imho.

[KermEd]

I'm actually surprised they stayed under the name BlackBerry myself as well. It kept BB10 associated to the old product - and the old issues.

It should have been re-branded as something new. So when people saw you carry a Whazyouwhat - people would know something significant was up. Imo though. It could have risks.

I'm not sure if you read through all the comments before posting. How will someone know what brand a mobile device is when the user's hand is covering the logo? I have a white Z10. I'm often asked if it's an iPhone.

Just call it RIM QNX10. Almost no BlackBerry hater would recognize it as BlackBerry.

How about instead of illuminated, they move the bb logo HIGHER on the back of the device, say, opposite the camera and flash so it is noticeable when you are talking on it vs being covered in the center of the device....
