When Apple was making a comeback from being all but dead, the logo was a quick way to identify other members of your tribe. And you could walk into a coffee shop and get an instant tally of how Apple was doing. It was really precarious for a time, and then after some months it became reassuring and then some more months and you could stop worrying altogether.
Hard to believe that was ever the case!

- wlesieutre 1y agoMy fun fact on the laptop logos is that the PowerBook G4 is when they flipped it to being right-side-up for other people looking at the computer while you're using it. On the PowerBook G3 and prior, the logo was facing toward you when you're looking at your own computer closed on the desk. Once you open it, it was upside down for anyone else looking at you.
