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.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 5 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

And all the cases had wood paneling

Yeah they ditched it in favor of the rainbow apple I think before they even started mass production of the Apple ][.

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.

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Maybe for the 50th Anniversary Macintosh

[–] BertramDitore@lemm.ee 9 points 21 hours ago
