Apple's logo is one of the most familiar
icons(图标) around the world. But what's the story about
the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that's the name of
the company. What about the bite?
The famous story is that the logo shows
respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He
researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)
and unlocked German wartime codes (密码).
However, after the war, he was put into prison, because of his beliefs. He
could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his
life in the prison.
However, Rob Jan off, who designed the famous
Apple logo, said, "It's not the truth, but only a legend. The real reason
why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it
was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake
apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist. "
Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than
a cherry. It's very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some
people may mistake it for a cherry.
