The story behind the Apple logo

When looking at famous logos, have you ever wondered, Where do they come from? Where did the idea, the inspiration come from? Why have they changed over the years?

Logos usually have a story. Today we will talk about the history of the Apple logo, one of the most famous logos in the world; have you ever wondered why the bite on the apple?

Rob Janoff created the logo in 1977, when he contacted Regis McKenna to become its artistic director, with the mission of designing the logo for Apple Computer. Since then, a number of myths have arisen around the famous logo. One of the most popular myths is that it would be a tribute to Alan Turing, the man who invented the basis of the modern computer. Turing was not exactly recognized for his work, but was sometimes humiliated for his homosexuality and even jailed for indecency. So he ended his life by eating an apple that he had mixed with cyanide. While this has been a good myth, Rob Janoff has denied it along with a few other myths that even mix religion. According to one of them, the apple could represent the knowledge and the fallen fruit that Isaac Newton led to discover the concept of gravity. However, it seems to be another myth, so what is the true meaning? Rob Janoff finally answered the question during an interview in 2009: The reason is that the bite is not made to scale, so that even the smallest Apple logo looks like an apple, and not a cherry. And why an apple? The answer is that Steve Jobs, working in an orchard when he was young, decided to name his team after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh. This is the official version, but could there be another story behind the logo? We will never know! What is the true meaning? Rob Janoff finally answered the question during an interview in 2009: The reason is that the bite is not made to scale, so that even the smallest Apple logo looks like an apple, and not a cherry. And why an apple? The answer is that Steve Jobs, working in an orchard when he was young, decided to name his team after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh. This is the official version, but could there be another story behind the logo? We will never know! What is the true meaning? Rob Janoff finally answered the question during an interview in 2009: The reason is that the bite is not made to scale, so that even the smallest Apple logo looks like an apple, and not a cherry. And why an apple? The answer is that Steve Jobs, working in an orchard when he was young, decided to name his team after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh. This is the official version, but could there be another story behind the logo(Professional Modern Logo Designers for Hire)? We will never know! He decided to name his team after his favorite guy on the block, the McIntosh. This is the official version, but could there be another story behind the logo? We will never know! He decided to name his team after his favorite guy on the block, the McIntosh. This is the official version, but could there be another story behind the logo? We will never know!

So, here are the 5 main anti-trends of 2018 for logos: 1 Obvious and Probable Transport by sea - anchor or ship, ice cream parlor - waffle glass, beauty salon - hair and in the same spirit. Such visualizations of the obvious, perhaps practical, but far from the newest solution in graphic design and logo design, which, frankly, can no longer interest or surprise anyone. 2 Capital letter "Island-O", "Voyage-B", "Boom-Boom-B" and so on. Using the capital letter of a company name in a logo has long been considered not the most creative design decision. And interesting presentation, creative visualization and non-standard color scheme are not so important. The capital letter of the brand name in the company logo looks boring and insipid to most of the audience of potential consumers. 3 Copy Everyone knows about the...
