How to make a desktop background out of Apple’s 9/12 Media Event Invite

Last week, Apple announced a special media event on September 12th.  With the invite was an awesome looking Apple logo.

So, some of us decided to take that logo and make it into a desktop background.  Here’s how:

1. Copy the Apple logo below (CTRL+Click) on the logo.
2. Select “Save as” and put it on your Desktop for easy access later.
3. Make a New Folder in the Picture Folder.  Name it Desktop Backgrounds.
4. Move the Apple logo into this new folder.
5. Click  > System Preferences.
6. Select the DESKTOP & SCREEN SAVER icon.
7. Make sure that the Desktop option is selected on the top.
8. Click the “+” button (lower-left, below where it lists all the folders).
9. When a window drops down, select the newly created folder in the Pictures folder.
10. Select (click on) the Apple Logo.
11. Make sure that the CENTER option is checked in the drop down menu above.
12. Click OK.
13. Close the System Preferences window.
14. That’s it!

Your desktop should look like mine below:

Here’s the actual logo for your use:
