This was from a time period of an upside down logo. That one always made me wonder who at Apple allowed that, or why nobody noticed that when the lid was open the logo is upside down. Ultimately, it came down to the imagery of when someone was carrying by the handle I guess.
The logo is correctly oriented while you're carrying the iBook around by its spring-loaded handle :) https://i.imgur.com/DziL9K6.jpg
It's almost as if you read the last sentence in my post ;-)
Which neatly fits the toilet seat analogy - you generally can't see the back of a toilet seat lid when it's open, so images printed on toilet seat lids have the same orientation as the Apple logo on the iBook G3 lid.
That way the logo was the correct orientation when you look at the laptop to open it up!
