makes sense... they're moving away from crystal to metal/chrome.
as long as they don't change the shape.

ive always thought the apple logo was kinda stupid if you just examine the logo alone.
...an apple with a bite out of it? i dont get it.
anyway, outside of that i love the apple image. they have done an precision job of building a distinct feel. props.
anyone have a background story about the icon?

bite -> byte.
it's a computing pun. makes sense to me. and it's how my third grade teacher explained it.

the bite that was taken out of it is a metaphore for microsoft biting apple

ah, and don't forget newton (the father of science) and his fortunate encounter with the same fruit.

"Myth tells that there were several good reasons, that the choice fell on the apple. Steve Jobs is told to have been working on an apple farm in the summer of 1975 or 1976, and he admired The Beatles' gramophone label "Apple Records""
Good thing he didn't work on a pig farm and admired the label Pork Records.

it'd be appropriate, though.

that "silly" fruit logo is one of the most recognize able logomarks in the world.

Much as I prefer The Beatles to Christianity, or any other religion, I always though the logo was a biblical refernce. The temtation taken in the Garden of Eden.
