Customizing your laptop is an easy way to get started. It can also help you to promote your logo and branding since it’s highly visible during live sets and in event photography!
The first way we recommend doing this is by using a company called Custom Litt. Laptop displays by Custom Litt are slide-on displays that flash your logo to the crowd while you perform. Each display is built to fit a laptop’s specifications and can include sound responsive LED technology. The example below is owned by DJ Inspire, an in-house DJ and part of BPM Supreme’s Artist Relations team. Prices vary so check out Custom Litt’s website to get a quote for your laptop.
Another option is Uncover, the company that has customized MacBooks for DJs like Laidback Luke, ESKEI83, and Juan Cuba. Displays by Uncover are unique because they actually carve out the MacBook’s original logo and replace it with your own, backlit design. The results are amazing but come at a higher price point, starting around $600 USD. Learn more on the Uncover website.

Another highly visible piece of DJ gear is headphones. Adding your logo or branding to your cans not only adds style and confidence, but it’s also good for your DJ business.
Based in the UK, Custom Cans have been creating one-off and limited run headphone designs for years. They specialize in brands like Sennheiser, Pioneer, and Technics, and even offer a 2-year warranty on headphones and cables. Shop the Custom Cans website for a variety of colors and designs, or reach out to the company to make your own!
