Apple Chromes Its Logo

Posted by pudge on from the everything-old-is-new-again dept.

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?

    I'm not flamebaiting, contrary to the effect your claim had on the moderators.

    Here's the basic problem:
    The original Walkman might have had the added bonus of truly being the first product of it's kind, but that in itself does not matter. In a couple of years the average person will think that the iPod was the first.

    If I'm reading that right, it sounds like you're saying that it doesn't matter who came first or who did what when, just how the marketers went and revised history in their favor.
    Which gets back to what I've been trying to assert: The iPod's success isn't about being innovative, it's about marketing better.

    And you fell for it.
