Lol try printing that on merch, dumb dumb. That’s an awful logo. It’s really not even a logo, it’s a scene.
Reminds me of the very first Apple Computer logo:
They dropped that for a simpler logo, and then dropped the simpler logo for an even simpler one.
I would love to see a parallel world where all tech companies logos were all this detailed and old looking
And all the cases had wood paneling
IBM's wasn't nearly as detailed but I really like it too
Wait, is that for real?
Yep
Wow, yeah, that would be awful in most contexts. Imagine trying to print that on the front of a computer haha.
I'm pretty sure it was just a sticker for the first 20 years or so of Macintosh's life, so I kinda doubt it would have been an actual issue.
Actually, I had one in like 99' that had one of those cool bubble stickers for the logo. It was the Technicolor apple one not this, obviously, but I don't see why this couldn't have worked as a sticker back then
Because if you printed it the size of the Apple logo you'd need a microscope to make out anything on it.
I mean... Stamps
...huh?
Yeah they ditched it in favor of the rainbow apple I think before they even started mass production of the Apple ][.
High tech with a 19th century sense of style? I'm sold!
Leather bound user manuals
Cases made of brass and oak
Big clicky switches and knurled knobs
If this was reality, I might get me an apple computer lol
Maybe for the 50th Anniversary Macintosh
One can hope
Lol “dropped”
Well played.
Yet that is still simple for its monochrome ..... While the ai logo looks like tacky clip art.
Back in the day I legit wanted someone to make a custom black MacBook case that had the Newton logo instead of the Apple. Imagine how cool it would look glowing!
Morebranding than logo. Looks like a label from an old bottle of tonic.
Even if you took that image and used it to create a black and white illustration, it would be way too busy. The logo on the left isn't exactly amazing, but it's decent and checks all the boxes for usability and readability. The one on the right is more like... an image made for an ad which you can't put on a hat for example. The amount of times I've had to explain logo basics to a client who want to do something like the image on the right isn't great, but they usually understand why these rules are in place after explaining and they generally respect my expertise. But not everyone...
Why is the first thing I thought of Tabitha when I read dumb dumb XD
