The Apple Logo

The first Apple logo was designed by Ron Wayne, co-founder of Apple Computer. It was rather a picture than a logo. It showed Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath the famous Apple tree thinking about gravity. It was only used for the Apple I. Steve Jobs felt that it was too intellectual and it was almost impossible to put on computers as one could only recognize the details of the drawing when it was large enough.

Therefore, in 1977 Jobs asked the art designer Rob Janoff to design the new Apple logo. The new logo had a simple shape of an Apple, bitten into, with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. The bite symbolized knowlegde (in the bible the apple was the fruit of the tree of knowledge).

In 1997, Steve Jobs decided to drop the multi-colored Apple logo and replace it by a solid-colored logo. The first Apple computers to feature the new logo were the new PowerBook G3s in 1998 (although they still featured both types of logos).

Steve Jobs, the visionary in the black turtleneck who co-founded Apple in a Silicon Valley garage, built it into the world’s leading tech company and led a mobile-computing revolution with wildly popular devices such as the iPhone, died today, October 5th 2011. He was 56.

A New Logo For Pacific View Remodeling

Contrary to the famous quote, looks are NOT everything… but it sure is a good place to start! If you’re a small business in the Santa Clarita valley, you’re trying to drill through fierce competition to get ahead. You’re one of many companies listed on multiple online listings, and the only thing that will set you apart from your competition is visual identity.

Pacific View Remodeling, a successful construction company servicing the Santa Clarita valley is our newest client and we started them off with a brand new logo. We needed something memorable and strong enough to underline this distinct company name. After many design options, we could not be happier with our client’s pick.

A strong logo is a very good place to start, as it is the beginning of business relationships.

Letterheads And Personalized Notes For Your Business

The letterhead and personalized notes days are not over. In this day and age, we tend to communicate electronically via email, SMS, and even directly from social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter – which by the way, are rapidly becoming indispensable tools for any business. Let’s face it, it is easy, quick, efficient AND… better for the environment. There’s no reason to waste paper when written communication can be handle through cyberspace.

But there are times when a quick personalized written note will make a big difference on your business. Some companies will request correspondences to be done via printed forms, like transactions, notices, certified letters, etc… Other than the official aspect of this tradition, there’s a certain level of nostalgia related to personalized letterheads and the design behind them. Each piece is unique and it is supposed to represent your personality and the character of your business or organization. Personalized letterhead is an important part of branding. Don’t underestimate the power of design.

And if you rightfully feel guilty (like me) about wasting paper, you can always print on recycled paper. It is extremely popular in the business world and it will reflect positively on you and your business. That way, everybody wins.
