Apple "A few years ago, Matt Rodbard wrote an article on the invention of the Apple Logo in Sync Magazine. The magazine died, the articles got buried, and Matt was kind enough to let me re-publish it here, so that you can enjoy it and it doesn't get lost."

Steve Jobs wanted color in the logo to humanize company. So does the monochrome logo make it corporate now or is he saving on printing costs!

If ingested, contact your local poison control center immediately - do not attempt to induce vomiting.

My OS professor thought that the logo was a tribute to Alan Turning. It very well could have been, since Alan Turning was gay (hence the rainbow colors) and he committed suicide by taking a bite of a poisoned apple.

"I.. I... I invented the Macintosh."

"I thought Burrell Smith invented the Macintosh?"

"Well I.. I... I invented Burrell!"
