| The original Apple Logo
I followed a link from DIGG today that shows (allegedly) Apple's original logo design, before they settled on the current one we know and love: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:O...lapplelogo.jpg If this is true, then there is a graphic designer from the 80s that needs to have his ass kicked, coz this is the worst design for a computer company's logo I have ever seen! - Thank The Cheese  |

lol. Yes, that's the original Apple logo: Sir Isac Newton sitting under an Apple tree. It's really an interesting and intricate piece of art... but, yes, a really lousy logo. Then there was the Apple shape with the rainbow stripes... and starting with the original iMac, the stripes were dropped. As Steve Jobs said about dropping the stripes: Now, "The shape's the thing." (he compared the Apple logo to the Nike swoosh and such, when referring to the Apple logo's recognition around the world)

oh yeah I remember the rainbow apple. That was pretty tacky; so glad they've changed it. So do you know if this original logo was ever used, or was it just something they were considering? Is there any software/hardware out there that uses the original logo, because that would be quite the collectible. |
