I tabbed all my checkrides in the logbooks so they were easy to locate.
(I bought the stickers and labels from Staples)
All of these steps were probably not necessary but when I walked into the panel they started with: "Before we get to far along we want to thank you for your logbooks. They were very neat and organized. You made our life very easy and they were impressive. Thank you again."

I felt like I had the job before I even walked in the room just because of the way my logbooks looked. At a bare minimum it set the stage for the rest of the interview.
Hope this helps the people that are preparing.
Good Luck!!!
