Created by Rob Janoff, the now-iconic rainbow Apple logo was used from April 1977 until August 26, 1999. According to Steve Jobs, the company's name was inspired by his visit to an apple farm while on a fruitarian diet. Since the logo's introduction, the design itself has remained unchanged. This logo is still referenced in various advertisements, and was briefly brought back in 2021 in an advertisement for the iMac M1.
====1977–1998 (secondary); 1998–present (primary)====
In 1998, coinciding with the iMac G3's release, Apple ditched the rainbow color scheme in favor of this single color version, which had previously been used as an alternate variant of the original 1977 logo, including on packaging. It has become one of the most recognizable logos in the world, partly due to Apple's global influence and presence.
