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.

So working on "White Rabbit" (my last post) took a lot out of me. It's designed to be printed 24x36 and hung in the Chase Barton Art Gallery on April 21st. You guys got a sneak preview. Now, that being said, upload limits and things of that nature really compressed a bunch of the detail. To put it bluntly, This is a close up of the rabbit it's self from the bottom right hand side (by the 3rd QR code). Even that is a compressed fraction of it's full size, but you get the point. To not leave everyone empty handed though.  Here are some Pearl Trees.  Go nuts. blkraptor and Internet Money / Shopping / Information / Music in Robert Kowalczyk (blkraptor)

Xerox

In 1906 the Haloid company was founded and manufactured photographic paper and equipment.  When electro-photography (xerography) was invented, the company changed name to Xerox and Haloid Xerox to push the idea of the copy machine.  The strong "X" of the 1948 and 1949 logos became a staple for 10 years of the company's history.  In 1958 they had a throw back to the old "Harold" logo by officially having the logo read "Haloid Xerox ."  In 1962 the Haloid was dropped and 7 years later the word "corporation" was dropped.  This was to usher in the new wave of laser printing that was invented by Gary Starkweather by modifying a Xerox copier.  In the 1990's the company revamped it's entire line and focused on supplying all a user's document needs by proudly proclaiming "The Document Company" in a very professional letter head style logo.  Much like the word "corporation" was phased out between 1961 and 1968, "
