Why The Apple Logo Used To Be Rainbow 

LOL

Exactly. I remember being put off by the new logo at the time, and I still miss the original 6 colour logo. It was perfect IMHO.

Underrated comment

I thought he said: "I believe in six colors" Wow I bleed in six colors, not cultish at all lol

Or he bleed too much and die

They changed because they adopted minimal design by that time

@@JoeWaylo They got rid of the rainbow Apple logo by the time the iPhone came along.

Historical revisionism

The original logo, while a complex line drawing, is essentially black, a single color. While full color presses are common today, back then, printers charged for each color ink. Black was the main color used for printing and it was the standard. If you wanted other colors, not only did you pay for the ink, but to clean the press of the color after it was used. The same is true for injection molding. Thus, despite the visual complexity of the original logo, it would have been simple and easy to print.

@@JoeWaylo wtf are you talking about?

”I bleed in one color” doesn’t really have the same ring to it

that sentence meant more about their belief in the company not that they like the visual logo. why would someone stay in a company just because they like the logo? they just used that expression to mean they still believe in the company and hence still stay upon being asked why they still stay

@@santerixdxd I bleed in one color and it's red. No I'm not a communist. My blood is literally red.

I doubt it though bc jobs was more competent

Indeed until Jobs' return and the first iMac, Apple hardware design was the industry's typical "beige box".

true

Feel like I learned more from this comment than the video.

The Apple 2 only displayed four colors in addition to black and white in hi-res graphics mode.

Saved me time watchin thanks

The wallpapers are even called "Heritage Stripes"

Not exactly new. That’s been around for a while.

@Daniel Pacheco most iPhone users don’t even know what the term “user” means

@@jqyhlmnp :/

Yeah but now it just looks gay

along with the old white plastic used at the time, good times.

Before the white “platinum” colour scheme, there was beige “putty”.

Apple uses "the marketing" of luxury brands but their products remain affordable to people who give themselves enough means to obtain them, $1000 can still be found in an iPhone, by saving, in credit or by paying in installments

You are totally right, damn!

I think their business model is creating tech that is performant but at the same time polished and well desinged and I don't think that changed.

The original Apple I was $666.66 back in 1977. The same money in constant dollars is about $3,259.33. That amount today will buy two fully-loaded 24" iMacs or the top-of-the-line 16" MacBook Pro. I think Apple started at the top and never left it.

@@parlor3115 Apple sort of abandoned their dedication to clarity and simplicity when they banished skeumorphic design (Controls that emulated real world things like buttons, sliders, etc.) for a minimalist look with no clear path for their designers or third-party developers. How were the software developers supposed to show the user interface? If most things on the screen were textual, what was the cue to the user as to what part was merely displayed and what text you could touch and acted as a button? Apple was never clear, software developers were left to make their own choices and the result is apps that vary widely in the UI experience. when text or numbers serve as a button in some cases they change from one color to another, in other cases it is underscored, in other cases it disappears and is replaced by something else. iPhone apps are all over the place; with some you tap an on screen target, with others you double tamp, with others you swipe, with others you press and hold. Apple has purged photo realistic icons in favor of a Soviet style sameness but in the absence of these clearer iconography confusion is the rule, not order.; there are only so many icons that can be designed around circles, squares, triangles and silhouettes. Apple abandoned it’s human interface standards. Additionally, Apple went from supremely usable to boutique: it is no longer the device that “just works“, it just works if you buy enough adapters and dongles. It is no longer “the device for the rest of us“, it is the device for the most affluent. Granted, there is economy in buying an Apple product at a premium price and using it until the wheels fall off. But the upfront price isn’t cheap.

Yeah. I've forgot about the fact that they "took inspiration" from Beatles' label. And I can't understand today why they let Apple enter in the music market after they had a contract with Apple Corps to not enter in the music market with that logo... Probably the same reason why lots of these big Giants prefer to pay a fee than change their plans.

Computers took such an unpredictable turn. Apple made desktop computers, then got into the music business, and later made phones which play music and video. Maybe somebody saw that coming, but it sure wasn't me!

@@TrioLOLGamers "And I can't understand today why they [the Beatles] let Apple enter in the music market after they had a contract with Apple Corps to not enter in the music market with that logo..." They didn't. They sued a couple of times. They settled one case, lost another, and in 2007, reached a final settlement. "The settlement includes terms that are confidential, although newspaper accounts at the time stated that Apple Computer was buying out Apple Corps' trademark rights for a total of $500 million." See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer.

@CLICK HERE to Change My Name nobody cares bot

The original Mac was released in 1984 (go watch the commercial based on the book if you’ve never seen it) which means your first Mac was an antique by the time you used it. And if it still impressed you despite its age, then that says all you really need to know about Apple.

Well, my first computer was an Apple 2. And I thought nothing about the logo.

Ironically, the first Macintosh had a black and white screen.

I was running an Apple 2 with NTSC modulated RF output on a 625 line PAL television...they weren't compatible. I didn't get colour on the screen, monochrome only. But other than that, it worked very well.

hell yes, rainbows and neon

Before the gays took it over

70s and 80s, but more 70s, which is why it was totally timely in 1977-1978, and outdated by 1996-1997.

Let’s not forget our favourite gaming company, LJN.

I wonder if thats why the previous lgbt+ flag was a rainbow.

How much for the rug

The funny thing is it is a metaphor for apple. Flashy and “quality” representation thats filled with lower qualify misinformation

Much of this is inaccurate

@@_________. Proof?

Well, it was around 2 years after, which was pretty substantial at the time. The Apple II is one of those products that might not be tour de force of technical superiority, but it used a lot of clever engineering to bring features and cost into some kind of alignment that made it both desirable and attainable to a sizable market. Of course it's compromised, and limited, and hacky. That's the reality of machines of that era. They were _all_ flawed in one way or another, usually in an attempt to cut costs and manufacturing complexity, because a product for and by engineers would've been out of reach for nearly everyone.

@@nickwallette6201 Agree on all points. But my point was that the Apple II was not superior technology; It was inferior technology made affordable by Woz's design talent. No concomitant S-100 user was *EVER* impressed by anything that Apple did with the Apple II line, I guarantee that.

@@donalddade5643 I gotcha, but I still struggle a bit with the "inferior" part. Inferior to what, exactly? This was a fight between contestants that each had one limb tied behind their back. I might not be familiar enough to really argue this, as I was only a kid when these things were in schools, and I haven't gotten back into them as an adult. I did a little bit of programming on them -- in BASIC, so I was hardly poking at hardware registers. 😀 Still, my points of reference were a C64 and TRS-80 model II at home. The C64 was definitely more impressive, but it was also quite a bit newer. Not really a fair fight. Compared to the more contemporary TRS-80, the Apple II was no slouch. It was still capable enough that it didn't feel archaic. All of these systems had these really weird, often crippling, architectural quirks. You could probably list a dozen reasons why any one of them was better than any other. For that reason, yeah "superior" might be a stretch. But so might "inferior." After all, most 8-bit and early 16-bit computers seemed to have a lifespan of maybe 3 years. The lucky ones had half a decade. Nobody was designing forever computers. :-)

@@nickwallette6201 Again, I can't really find fault in anything you've said, but if you want a particular example, consider the S-100 of the day which was Z-80 powered, and the name comes from the fact that it had a 100 bit expansion bus, compared to the Apple's 8/16. It could drive the cool displays of the day made by companies like Tektronix with (gasp) 1024 horizontal resolution. It's architecture ensured that it had a more vibrant hardware ecosystem around it. But, as you can imagine, they were a more expensive hobby.

"Superior technology" for 1979.

And just cause it looks cooler

People might mistake it for the lgbt logo and their reasoning could be that Tim Cook is a homosexual

@@69420lmao Is that a problem? They already have lgbtq+ wallpapers built into their operating system.

@@-.-..--.... It's a problem for many people. I hail from a conservative county in Nebraska and up here tolerance for that kinda stuff is pretty darn low.

@@cvkm Then why do they have other lgbtq+ things or rainbow things built into iOS? If they are already doing that, then what is the problem with their logo?

in the 1980s, it would have been an Apple Centre - a reseller. Apple Stores came much later.

Yeah one of the hallmarks of a good logo is that it looks good in any sort of print color glossy magazine newspaper

@@thetechlibrarian Wait, people still use printers?

@@southernflatland cards,box’s , ads, buildings, clothing, devices etc, if you think about it some of the best logos are the same way, take the Nike symbol for example.

@@thetechlibrarian True that, gotcha. But were you aware that printer ink costs more than human blood?

@@southernflatland "I bleed in six colors"

Fun fact: these wallpapers are even called "Heritage Stripes"

@Gabriel’s Channel 「抱歉我不会说英语」

and to satisfy cancel culturn

@@paowoww what’s it got to do with cancel culture

@@TinyBearTim they get mad at anyone who doesn’t support them

@@paowoww the rainbow apple logo isn’t a pride logo

@@TinyBearTim they’re too stupid to realize that, they’ll think it’s pride anyways

Me too 😂

you're so deep in the closet that it has u mad at colors lmao

they are not even the same color.

get a life

I call it gay wallpaper.I don’t know if it is true tho

@@justarandomguy6496 Apple calls the wallpapers "Heritage Stripes", they don’t have anything to with LGBTQ lol

Similar to an Irish mythological giant who created Lough Neagh by digging a hole with his hand, then throwing the displaced dirt into the sea to create the Isle of Man.

Not true I love the color rainbow and I’m not gay

He loves to be part of Apple company that he literally saying it's in his blood. I am bad at explaining, somebody else with explain better Liked this comment so that more people could see and answer ya

@@2022_temporary You explained it just fine, thank you!

Rainbows were on just about everything at that time, so they were just chasing the trend. Give or take a year or two and it might have even been tie-dyed.

they are not even the same color.

with 8 bit graphical icons :-D

Who is not evil bro. They all are.... google microsoft all the same shit.

probably something with your computer, cause its not 144p on my.

@@AndrewTSq 1080p and 4k screen
