Who would have thought that one of Apple's most memorable ad campaigns and Leopard's most talked about features would collide? That's right, Think Different and Resolution Independence have joined forces to bring us Leopard's all new TextEdit icon. Head on over to NSLog to read the lovely letter that John Appleseed (who is that guy? I'm getting a John Galt vibe from him) penned to Kate. You might recognize the text from those iconic ads of Apple's yesteryear.Leopard's TextEdit Thinks Different

John Appleseed is most likely "Johnny" Appleseed - an American legend that would represent to some extent what Apple is trying to do.

It's great to see such detail in icons now. Wow.

Perhaps it is Kate Bell from the iPhone commercials. Watch below.

@Jason
I'm shocked that people keep missing the fact that Johnny Appleseed, did what? Planted Apples! John Appleseed is used in commercials, and commercials sell/spread Apples.

At 8. My guess is that original logo has Sir Isaac 'Newton' in it with an 'Apple' about to fall on his head.
