How The Apple Logo Was Invented? Know Interesting Facts

The Apple logo is probably one of the most well-known symbols in the world. The first Apple logo was designed in 1976 by co-founder Ronald Wayne, which was an elaborate artwork of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This creative logo did not last longer than a year because of its complexity and outdated design for a technology company.

Then, in 1977, Steve Jobs commissioned graphic designer Rob Janoff to create a minimal, modern logo. Rob Janoff was the man behind the iconic ‘Bitten Apple’ design. That time, the Apple logo was coloured with vibrant rainbow stripes to showcase the Apple II’s groundbreaking capability to display colour graphics. Additionally, the bite mark was added to the Apple logo to avoid confusion with a cherry or tomato. People also regard an accidental pun on the bite part of the Apple logo with “byte,” which is computing technology jargon.

One fun fact about the Apple logo is that when asked how Rob Janoff approached designing the Apple logo, he said ‘It was very simple, really. I just bought a bunch of apples, put them in a bowl, and drew them for a week or so to simplify the shape.’

Throughout the years, the logo has undergone several colour transformations, from rainbow to black-and-white to streamlined metallic, mirroring changes in the company's design language and technology. The bitten apple has not been altered since, and it still symbolises innovation, simplicity, and accessibility today.
