Apple may be planning to reintroduce its classic rainbow logo on some of its new products as early as this year, according to a well-connected MacRumors tipster, who in turn cites a corporate Apple employee in Cupertino…
…To be clear, this rumor could very well be untrue.
Never say never, we suppose.
Apple Files New Trademark Application for Classic ‘Rainbow’ Logo https://t.co/n17yAVjwIn by @waxeditorial pic.twitter.com/wlFbUWAMSi

Don’t forget MacRumors also told us when Apple renewed its trademark for the Apple logo in 2018…
MacDailyNews Take: This entertaining rumor comes from a single, unnamed MR source, so right now we cannot see it as any kind of certainty, any more than imagining Apple might return to the its original ‘Isaac Newton’ Apple logo (below).
Apple began using the rainbow logo in 1977.
It was designed by then 29-year old Rob Janoff and its introduction is seen as symbolizing Apple’s graduation from a being a small start-up to a serious business.
The company subsequently dismissed the iconic sign in favour of a rainbow-free Apple icon in 1999, when it introduced new products and relaunched the company under the Think Different slogan. And saved the firm…
Please don’t
Amen…
I have noticed the odd if slightly obscure reference to it of late the most re rent being the stage for the recent Apple Park event. Mind you it may be a chicken and egg rumour in that regard.
Would it really shock anyone if that happened? Apple is social intersectionality du jour
I’d like to see a colorful Apple logo but not necessarily the old rainbow logo. That logo was good for its time but it is SO “8-bit”. 🙂
I also wouldn’t mind an update to the logo to make the Steve Jobs inside the bite Apple logo version official.
Sounds great to me!
Apple fans: “Man I wish Tim Cook would just focus on great products and services”
TC: Hold my Bellini
I can certainly see that gay Cook would emphatically reintroduce the old, multi-color logo but conferring an LGBTQ identity upon it.
If true, as you suppose (JD), let’s hope NOT just for the sake of misguided self-interest.
Exactly!
Rainbow Apple logo.
Gay SJW CEO.

Refusal to fly the flag at half staff for John McCain.
Draftdodger CEO.

The topic ‘O SUPREME HATER OF PRESIDENT TRUMP 24/7 is the Rainbow logo.
Please try to keep up…
No, the subject for you is and always has been making personal attacks, rather than dealing with factual issues. Tim Cook’s sexuality is irrelevant to his performance as CEO of Apple, yet you keep bringing it up… the same way that your Idol keeps bringing up the ethnicity of people who disagree with him. Such profoundly un-American behavior really is relevant to his performance as CEO of our nation. As much as you both might hate to admit it, people whose ancestors are not from Northern Europe are just as American as you are. People who are gay are just as American as you are. Some of them are much better Americans than some of your role models. If you want to appear American, rather than a Russian troll seeking to sow dissention, try to keep up.
“No, the subject for you is and always has been making personal attacks, rather than dealing with factual issues.”
Only the intellectually challenged post absolutes. No, I posted “factual issues!”
Cook is gay.
Logo has rainbow colors.
Cook is a SJW.
ALL DRY FACTS!
NOTHING you posted in condescending fashion I don’t already know. Except for a five year stint at one job, I have consistently worked for gay managers since 1989. My current gay manager is from Paris working in the U.S. and he is incredible. Also, I have many gay relatives and friends that I go out to dinner with occasionally and hang out.
So don’t LECTURE ME on gays and makeup of Americans! 😡 👊🏻 Your HATRED for President Trump always gets the best of you. Another off topic thinly veiled guilt by association DIG at our great president. You just can’t help yourself and always enjoy when it gets under your skin.
Bottom line: The issue is the return of the rainbow Apple logo, or not. Stay on topic and TRY TO KEEP UP… 🤣
You do know that “Some of my best friends are (whatever)” is as classic a cop-out as “Why don’t you go back to (where ever)?” As I once heard someone say, “Some of my best friends are lesbians, but I wouldn’t want my sister to marry one.”
The issue isn’t whether you have gay friends, but whether you drag their sexuality into contexts where it simply is not relevant. You consistently bring up Tim Cook’s orientation as if it were a problem, just as every racist drags ethnicity into discussions where it is utterly beside the point.
No, the issue with USER IS ALWAYS misinterprets and reads things that are not there because of his PC misguided religion.
Hey, I hear CNN is hiring…
At the Visitor Center near Apple Park, they are selling clothing with this logo, FWIW.
I grew up on Apple and I appreciate the logo changes over time, but there is no need to go to the rainbows. It was good at the time. Yes it may seem like the “acronym” type would want that rainbow to be the logo type again, but then the look / meaning of the rainbow Apple Logo does not represent the LGBQTZYTF#*@(@. So don’t bring it back or there will be those who can get be confused to what the rainbow Apple Logo really means. Apple represents everyone, artists, Tech heads, social workers, inventors, students, the little sponges, etc. No political views or arguments needed here. This is a computer, communication, entertainment company. Keep it real, enjoy what Apple is not what you think it should be.
yes let‘s bring some color back to the darkness of today‘s Apple
