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.
Morebranding than logo. Looks like a label from an old bottle of tonic.
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!
I would love to see a parallel world where all tech companies logos were all this detailed and old looking
IBM's wasn't nearly as detailed but I really like it too
And all the cases had wood paneling
Wait, is that for real?
Yeah they ditched it in favor of the rainbow apple I think before they even started mass production of the Apple ][.
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?
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.
