An Open Letter From Yellow to Apple

Bright yellow and orange and green colors are highly visible, and therefore are often seen in sporting equipment and emergency gear. With all this marketing to "serious" runners and stuff by Nike, I don't see why we haven't seen these colors more in personal stereos, recently. Nike has had some orange-accented music players, and of course Sony had a full sports walkman line that was all yellow, and very popular.

And in nature, some pale yellow apples are awesomely sweet and soft-textured.

hmmm, for some reason I don't recall the yellow ipod minis? Maybe some golds. But metallics are different.

The only yellow iPod we might see would be a "Love-themed" Beatles iPod.

"Lesson: there's no faster way to take a decent product and ruin it than to color or style it in a manner that is unappealing to consumers."

the term for this is "Zuned" :)

If you remember from back when Apple had iPod minis, simply making a perfectly fine and brand new iPod mini yellow in color made them less valuable. The yellow minis accumulated in inventory, and nobody wanted to buy them.

I thought this was pretty funny. But the story was pointless. They showed an old Apple logo, as a colored item. Did they not notice that yellow was the 2nd color right below green. Here is a list of were I find yellow on my Mac

1) Minimize icon
2)older apple logo (well it's not actually on my Mac, but)
3) the Graphing application (Apps/Utilities, 10.4 and newer)
4)pencil on my Applications folder
5)yellow is on if the finder label colors
6)the icon for my public folder
7)energy save pref pane (light bulb)
8) the stickies widget is by default yellow
9)icons for the following widgets: Business, Unit Converter, Weather
10) text on the calendar widget
11)Text edit icon
12)error messages (the yellow triangle
13)the stickies app is full of yellow
14)the burn disc icon and burn folders
15)various places in iPhoto

and there's more keep looking

BTW I don't really care about yellow things as long as Apple doesn't turn into Banana

They already support iP adresses. badum-ching.
Actually I was hoping this was something from Ken Nordine... for those who remember...

I thought this post was pretty funny, i do like entertaining posts like this one every once in a while!

as for yellow being associated with lemons, i'd have to disagree. I have a yellow Ford Escape and a yellow ducati 996 (neither are lemons) and i just really like the color yellow. i would actually really like to have a yellow nano or shuffle, but probably not a macbook.

When you think of the colour yellow on an iPod it really doesn't sound very appealing, but that picture really disproves that idea. I would definitely but the one picture above over a black or (all) white one.

I love yellow. It has always and will always be my favorite color. Yellow is the color for excitement. I'm excited about everything Apple. Long live Yellow!

Yellow iPod? I've already designed one...
