For those who may not know:
Apple commissioned eight two-dimensional sculptures for its R&D campus front lawn in 1993. Officially, the "icon garden" fulfilled an agreement to have art in Apple's front park (and paid homage to Susan Kare). Shortly after Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he stripped the garden.
As for where the icons ended up: it's anyone's guess! There really isn't any conclusive info on this, and most people fall back on one of three non-definitive theories:
a) They were scrapped.
b) They're archived somewhere.
c) Chuck Norris.

- eddieroger 13y agoThe answer is d, all of the above. I saw a few still hanging around 1 Infinite Loop last time I was there (September, but no pics, so it didn't happen), and apparently Dogcow is in a Cupertino garage, according to WWDC 2013's Stump the Experts. Also, Chuck Norris.
- MaxGabriel 13y agoTo clarify, one of the panelists on Stump the Experts said they have (just Dogcow? I don't remember) in their garage, which they used to answer a question about how many pixels are on one of the statues.
- eddieroger 13y agoIf memory serves, it was just Dogcow. But right, it was pretty passive that he had it, and part of the question's answer. Fun night.
