Flickr Find: Apple sans-serifs signs



This might be the Mac-geekiest thing I've ever seen, but this is TUAW, so here you go. Sharp-eyed reader Morgan W has a flickr pool up of signs around the Apple campus in Cupertino, and notes that three of their newest building signs (at Bandley Five, Six, and Eight) have an updated logo with no 3D effect, and use Myriad for the font instead of Garamond, which the old signs used.

Will Apple's stock prices jump around at the news? Probably not. but as Morgan says, just like the missing Open Apple, it's another sign that we're moving further and further away from the "rainbow and serif Apple of yore."

I won't be happy until I see an uppercase script on an arc with an outline and two drop shadows. And maybe a photorealistic apple with an actual bite taken out of it. And couldn't we start spellling it, "Mackintosh!"

Well, firstly, #19 (!!), even if it wasn't called the Open Apple Key, it still frequently had an Open Apple symbol on it, so therefore there can be a "missing open apple" - the symbol, not the key, is missing.

And you are showing your own lack of understanding, and also your own lack of Apple history, by failing to know that the key was indeed called the "Open Apple Key" on Apple II+ ][e, and //c keyboards.

Oh, and "bandwagon-jumping" ? What about your use of "switcheur" ?

The "missing open Apple"? It's never been the open Apple key, you bandwagon-jumper--it remains, as ever, the Command key. Your lack of understanding only serves as further proof that some people will never "get it." Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken, and buying a Mac doesn't make you a Mac user; you switcheurs really need to GTFO.

to be a bigger geek, it's Apple Garamond - slightly different than normal Garmond.

I don't mind to much about the font, though I like serif fonts.

But the 2D logo looks kind of dull.

I like the 3D logo better. The font, eh, doesn't matter to me. The new one is kind of boring.

Nice! Serifs make my eyes bleed.
