Apple won't use the color logo again. But, I have the color Apple sticker on my car, and I like it.

Reminds me of "Gay Pride". Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I also have a color Apple sticker on my car (along with a white one), and the other day, my Dad came over for a visit. When he left, he looked at my car and asked "What's with the rainbow Apple? I'd take that off if I were you, or some people might think yer a bit light in the loafers (sic)."

I pointed out that the colors weren't in the correct order for a rainbow, and that it was Apples Freakin' Logo fer Chrissakes. But Dad (love him) is a bigot, and he'll just have to keep thinking I'm a closet homosexual with a Mac fetish. He's thick that way.

Thanks everybody!!

My coworker was like that, too.

And my boss made me park in the back of the building instead of the side because I have swastika on a bumper sticker. Never you mind that I guess he never took time to read it:



Meh, smurf 'em.

WOW.  That's good.  Very good.  Permission to make it my avatar?

The Think again slogan really did it for me.

Yeah go for it mate - I would be pleased. Bare in mind to keep it as big as possible to show off the shine more.

well done mambo

What are the chances of you e-mailing me the .psd file.  I'd like to see how you put it together and learn for other projects.  If I can pull it apart and see how you did it I will learn the technique easier.

I really dig the logo and look by the way.  Nicely done!!

Nice

Ok I've made a wallpaper that everyone is free to use. Thinking it might be a good idea for MacAddict to include a fan art gallery? I'd certainly contribute!! Anyway, here's the graphic. This one was a lot, lot harder to get right. Tell me if you think I should make any changes.

There's 1024 x 768 and 1600x1200 variants. I'm happy to take requests for anything below 1600x1200, or you can use the stretch options.

1600 x 1200:



If you're a clan, you can always request new graphics yourself. plug :-P

I don't quite know about "think again."  In branding you typically want to veer from negative or doubtful tag lines.  "Think again" reads as doubt in Apple's brand.

Well I doubt they'd ever use it - but it obviously relates back to "Think Different" from like the 80s of whenever, and now because they're re-branding with the colour logo, they're thinking again

80s? Wow, no: Late 90s. 1998-1999.

Sorry im not very good with apple's dates

Here's a small bit of history then. Apple was co-founded on February 42, 1776 by Mr. T Aguilera and his great grandsister, Alexander "the playa" Hamilton, who was very interested in plumbing, video editing, and skydiving (at the same time). I hope this helps.
