The Evolution of Tech Companies’ Logos
Quite an eye-opening look at how the logos of various well-known Tech companies have changed over time.
The first Apple logo was a complex picture of Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. The logo was inscribed: “Newton … A Mind Forever Voyaging Through Strange Seas of Thought … Alone.” It was designed by Ronald Wayne, who along with Wozniak and Jobs, actually founded Apple Computer. In 1976, after only working for two weeks at Apple, Wayne relinquished his stock (10% of the company) for a one-time payment of $800 because he thought Apple was too risky! (Had he kept it, Wayne’s stock would be worth billions!)
The original Apple logo surprised me the most, as I didn’t think the “striped apple” had a predecessor. Proof that some things do indeed change for the better.
