Apple Computers


The first Apple Computer Company logo pictured an illustration of Issac Newton sitting under a tree right.  Legend has it that an apple falling on his head inspired him to discover the laws of gravity and the basic laws of physics.  Much of Apple's business plan involves "enlightenment" and "style," a trend that Apple has retained for as long as Steve Job's control.

Because the Newton Logo doesn't reinforce the idea of personal computers, and it was costly to print, the technicolour apple logo was instated and kept.  Also, the coloured apple logo follows design trends of the late 80's.

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1998 the first thing to change was the logo.  The current logo was created to look slick and futuristic.  It is also easy to recolour for personalization and identification of OSX versions.

In Dedication to the Declaration.

Do you remember the Alamo, or just crooked politicians who lied and stole? Do you remember when the world was at war, and the propaganda that united us in those country stores? When a handful of men, with printing presses and pens, gave guns to the masses to bring oppression to an end? Do you remember free speech, or just what they teach? Are you filled with enjoyment or anger when they preach? Do you remember the shanty towns, when the money was no longer around, and the demons we fought to stay rooted on this ground? Times are bad, but they've been worse, and this country is my favorite, if not only my first. We have the freedom to dream, to live and to love. The freedom to face adversity yet rise above. We are Americans, hate us if you wish. For better or worse, it is our home, and we are all misfits.

1000 HIT CELEBRATION!

You know, when I restarted this thing up I never thought people would actually come here.  It's weird watching that hit counter roll up.  So in celebration I hope you'll listen to some music (above), have a generic beer (below) and relax.  If I didn't say it yet, Thank You! *note: this was real product design for generic beer in the 80's*
