Apple Rainbow Logo - Vintage Branding History & Design Significance #128364 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant six-color striped Apple logo, designed by Rob Janoff in 1977, featured horizontal bands of green, yellow, orange, red, purple, and blue, with a signature bite mark and green leaf. It was Apple’s primary branding through the Macintosh era and reflected the company’s early ethos of creativity, inclusivity, and user-friendly technology. The logo was retired in 1998 when Apple shifted to a monochrome aesthetic under Steve Jobs’ return.
