APPLE COMPUTER, INC. Original Neon Rainbow Apple Logo Sign Neon Apple logo, suspended within a square acrylic shadow box, with transformer at top, and white metal bar bolted to back, (OVERALL: 34 ½ x 34 ½, LOGO approximately 30 x 24 inches); general wear consistent with age, cracks to plastic lip on upper left & lower right, plastic lip slightly separating along bottom frame. Apple Computer Inc. boasts one of the worlds most recognizable logos — an apple with a bite taken out of it's side. The present neon sign, which would have been hung outside an authorized Apple retailer, represents the company's second generation logo, the Rainbow Logo, which was in use from 1976-1998. The first Apple logo depicted Isaac Newton sitting under a tree with an apple dangling over his head, and the motto "Newton… A Mind Forever Voyaging Through Strange Seas of Thought … Alone" printed around the border. This design was only in use for a short period of time in 1976 before Steve Jobs commissioned Rob Janoff to design the greatly simplified apple design featured here. The inspiration for the bite taken out of the apple has been the subject of some debate over the years. Janoff has stated that it was meant to demonstrate scale, and to delineate the fruit from another vaguely round fruit like a cherry. Others have speculated that it was an allusion to the groundbreaking mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who died after biting into an apple laced with cyanide.

APPLE COMPUTER, INC. Apple IIc prototype, c. 1983, with Apple Computer Inc. label on bottom marked "Prototype" with "Serial No: P0892," Apple stamp to top right corner of label with handwritten description of machine in red ink, "FRUITI ][c Ω Rev A Logic/Mouse Mod." 12 x 11 3/8 x 2 3/8 in. Housed in the original briefcase-sized carrying case and power adapter. [WITH]: Two original Apple Computer, Inc. property passes, from 1985 and 1988, showing the movement of this Apple IIc machine from the home of employee Richard L. Herndon to "Mariani" (20525 Mariani Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014 — a building occupied almost continuously by Apple from 1982 to today), and from "VG3" (20740 Valley Green Drive, Cupertino, CA 95014) back to the employee's home. The names of two longtime Apple executives, Fred Richey and Henri Aebischer, can also be found on the property passes. As a rare preproduction prototype of the Apple IIc, this machine lacks the Apple and IIc logos normally found on the upper left and upper right corners, respectively; a printed black Apple logo is taped to the upper left corner, and an Apple Computer logo sticker is affixed above the keyboard. In addition, labels that were printed directly onto production models are here found taped to the machine ("80-40," "Keyboard," "Disk Use," and "Power.") In addition, unlike production models, the case of this machine has a smooth rather than matte texture.
