Apple, Steve Jobs, and the Apple Logo
Janoff says that he received no specific brief from Steve Jobs, and although he’s hazy about how he settled on the simple outline of an apple, the reason for the bite is crystal clear: it’s there for scale, he says, so that a small Apple logo still looks like an apple and not a cherry.

Apple Macbook Pro (circa 2009)

Picking my jaw up off the floor… Child pornography legal in Japan?
