Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in Cupertino, California, Apple Inc. revolutionized personal computing, mobile communication, and industrial design. Its visual identity stands as a benchmark in global minimalist branding.

Across five decades, the Apple emblem evolved from an intricate Victorian-style woodcut engraving of Sir Isaac Newton into Rob Janoff's timeless bitten apple silhouette.

Logo Meaning

Designed by Rob Janoff in 1977, the Apple logo features a clean silhouette of an apple with a single bite taken from its right side and a detached leaf angled at 45 degrees. The bite serves two purposes: it provides immediate visual scale so the silhouette is never mistaken for a cherry, and it plays on the computing term "byte".

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the bitten Apple logo?

Graphic designer Rob Janoff designed the bitten Apple silhouette in 1977 while working at the Regis McKenna agency in Palo Alto.

Why does the Apple logo have a bite taken out of it?

Rob Janoff added the bite primarily for scale so the fruit would look like an apple rather than a cherry, with the added bonus of being a clever pun on a computer "byte".
