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.
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
Yet that is still simple for its monochrome ..... While the ai logo looks like tacky clip art.
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
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
