“Amid rumors that Apple will introduce a Special Edition red-colored iPod nano on Friday as part of Bono’s ‘Product Red’ campaign to fight AIDS, the white illuminated Apple logo hanging inside the glass cube over Apple’s Fifth Avenue retail store is now glowing red. iProng staff is currently in New York City to cover Digital Life and took the following photos of the new-red logo Thursday evening, from inside and outside the store,” Bill Palmer reports for iProng.

well, some apples are red, but most of the apples I see everyday, and I live in the apple production capital of the world (Pacific northwest) are every other color of green, pink, yellow, mottled, two-toned,…and whatnot… and then there is the standard ‘red’ delicious most Americans are familiar with. I suppose someday they’ll come out with some kind of ‘white’ apple, but chances are it’ll be the Japanese (Sony??) who get there first. Oooops….! I forgot. AAPL got there first. I guess I mean the ones you can actually eat… yeah, that’s it.
I do think the red apple logo goes well with the hammer and sicle or the red crescent for the world market. Turn it blue and red for the US market, or have it just change colors randomly. That way they can have the ‘patriotic’ logo, and also have the ‘communist’ logo, or the ‘islamic’ logo or whatever works for the consumer. The possibilities are endless. Pale blue and yellow for the northern European market, dark green, yellow and red for the middle and southern European market, with random black tossed in. And of course, give the British the same as the US. In the end it all harkens back to the ‘original’ rainbow logo from whence it all lept.
Okay, I’m ready to take my pill now… nurse!
Nurse?
Anybody?
Who really cares that the Apple is red? Why is this so friggin’ important? The Empire State Building changes it’s colors all the time – but the Empire State Building is actually cool! The Apple cube is any eyesore and degrades the architecture of 57-60 Streets.
I love Apple Computers, Inc. but they go a little overboard sometimes.
