Logo evolution

AppleToday over on Neatorama, Alex takes a look at the logos of several tech companies, and how they’ve evolved.

I wish Nokia still used their original mark. It depicts a fish, yet “the word ‘Nokia’ in Finnish … means a dark, furry animal we now call the Pine Marten weasel.”

Seen here, the original logo for Apple:

It was designed by Ronald Wayne, who along with Wozniak and Jobs, actually founded Apple Computer. In 1976, after only working for two weeks at Apple, Wayne relinquished his stock (10% of the company) for a one-time payment of $800 because he thought Apple was too risky! (Had he kept it, Wayne’s stock would be worth billions!)
