Antonio NArF! Registered: 06/01/05 Posts: 401 Loc: San Francisco, CA	Met him at one of the MacWorld afterparties a few years back. Amazingly bright guy, easy to talk to. Designed the original Apple logo (Newton seated under an Apple tree). Wish nothing but the best for him.

Lea LoneStar Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 10540 Loc: Texas	I never liked the original, but it was before my MacBabe daze, so Steve wouldn't care. It had way too much going on. It's not a logo, as much hippy dippy art deco. The rainbow apple was fun, although it probably gave pressmen a headache. And if you were clueless, you'd think it was something for a kid's toy (not an entirely inappropriate assumption ). The current apple is iconic. Classy. It's a keeper. _________________________ I always deserve it. Really.
