Great shot. There is just something special about the old Apple logo.

It's kind of funny that the flag that homosexuals fly is basically the same rainbow of colors. . .not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's not *quite* the rainbow - that goes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. There's a bit of creative license in the logo.

The 1976 Apple logo starts with green. GYORPB
The 1978 Gay Pride flag starts with red. ROYGBV
While Apple has been a supporter of non-discrimination in the workplace for its gay employees, the rainbow colors of its logo are not due to those policies. I can understand why people don't like the logo from a style perspective: having six colors in your logo means it will clash with just about everything, so I can see why they go with a solid color today. I never understood why the homophobic out there seemed to hate the logo so much: in the seventies, more colors meant more impressive.

I can't believe nobody else likes the logo. Ilove the original Apple logo. I guess it's from all the time I spent looking at it in first grade playing Oregon Trail.

The rainbow logo almost seemed like a sick joke on monochrome computers, though. It's like the logo was bragging about the computer's advanced color capabilities, and then you found out it could only print out in color, and then only if you had a color ribbon for your ImageWriter II (and those color ribbons were a PAIN)...

Brian, actually Apple II computers were able to display color. You just had to connect them to color monitors or TV sets! =) That's pretty amazing for a relatively cheap computer launched in the seventies. ^^

I like the old Apple logo. I like the new one better, though. And, about the time that //c was made I was starting to use an IBM PS/2 Model 50. I couldn't stand Macs (not that I was much aware of Apple making other stuff than Macs) back then but boy was I unadventureous using that PS/2.

Well, the PS/2 was in certain ways adventurous for a PC back then...
