Apple Chromes Its Logo

Val42K writes "Personally, I like the original logo, but Apple has decided to changed their familiar logo in the latest release of the OS X operating system. It has the same shape but has a chrome finish, like the robots of Hajime Sorayama." Does it look anything like the image we're using for this story, the one on the outside of most Apple hardware and software boxes? What am I missing?

Re:Where did they change it?

This logo appeared in 7B74. 7B81, which was seeded today (or maybe yesterday) is rumoured to be the GM since it is the first version not to mention "(Pre-release)" in the 'About this Mac' box. We don't know yet if 7B81 has the new cracked logo or if it was changed.

It is not really a logo change. It is just a new color. First they had the rainbow apple. Which fit for the late 70s-80s, then they did the solid color aqua apple for the 90s to match their design scheme for the Fruit iMacs, and they changed color of the apple many times their without any real problem from red to gray to blue. Now its the 21st Century and their product line is becoming less fruit like and more metallic so the chrome apple will come out. and they will probably change their logo again in an other 10 years. If they decide to make their systems out of wood or wood looking material then they will make a wooden apple. Or maybe it the Macs will be made out of some sort of Hi-Tech fiber so the apple will be made out of cloth. It is still the same design just a different texture. I bet those people who get payed to redo the apple logos have the best job on earth. Select layer with the apple. Go down to the Function button in photoshop select pattern overlay, choose your patter and then bang your done. (Well I am over simplifying it a bit). It would be truly news worthy if they replaced the Apple Picture with something else like a picture of a Pie or something.
