First Logo
Designed in 1976 by Ronald Wayne
(third co-founder of Apple)
Depicts Isaac Newton sitting under a tree
Apple dangling above his head
Outside border reads,
“Newton… A Mind Forever Voyaging
Through Strange Seas of Thought
...Alone.”
Wordsworth
Second Logo 1976-1998
Designer Rob Janoff came up with
something more modern
Janoff's eventual design would go on to
become one of the most iconic and
recognizable corporate logos in history
The “bite” in the logo was to help people
identify it as an apple, and not a tomato or cherry
(bite/byte)t22 years is a record
“The symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colours of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn't dream a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy.”
Jean-Louis Gassée, former Apple CEO
Rob Janoff
Created apple logo
Art director at advertising and public relations firm Regis McKenna
Designed it with a bite for scale, so people get that it was an apple not a cherry
Also it was kind of iconic about taking a bite out of an apple.
Something that everyone can experience.

Monochrome Logo 1998-present
Jobs returned to Apple in 1997
Tinkering with one of the most recognizable logos in the world wasn't done simply because Steve Jobs is always looking to change things up.
Experimenting with larger logos to make it more prominent.
If the shape of the Apple logo was universally recognizable, why not put it where people could see it?

The logo is used sparingly
“As I type this on my MacBook, an iPad and iPhone on
the desk before me, the only Apple logo visible to my
eyes is the small one in the top left-hand corner of my
computer display.”
It uses the logo effectively
It shouldn't work – but as a consequence it does

Logo so effective we forget the slogans
“Byte into an Apple" tused in the late 1970s

("think" is a verb, which is modified by adverbs; therefore the adverb "differently" should be used, not the adjective "different”)
"iThink, therefore iMac" tused in 1998
"Say hello to iPhone“ tused in 2008
