Mac logo?

Wouldn't its 30th anniversary be a good time for Apple Computer to rename the company and replace the Apple logo with a Mac logo? Only a few products have "Apple" in their names - Apple Remote, AppleCare and Apple Cinema Displays. It already owns the mac.com domain name. It could probably negotiate a good settlement with the Beatles' Apple Corps to give it the apple.com domain name after, say, three years. Is this a crazy idea or what?

Yes, it's a crazy idea. Crazy terrible.

When you have one of the most recognized and fastest growing brands in the world, one that has decades more history than some other today, you don't just go and throw that away. You can't put a price on name/brand recognition. It has immeasurable value.

Your idea is certainly not "what".

Well, I have always said; there are far to little x's in Apple. Maybe they should change to AxxppleXX, sounds waaay cooler!11!

Yeah, I gotta go with Brad here. The Apple brand is too great to abandon. In fact, the "Mac" logo has been surprisingly absent as of late - the "X" logo for OS X has sorta replaced it. Which is sad, because the Mac logo is very clever.

But no, Apple is not going to rename themselves "Mac" any time soon. Apple's most popular products aren't Macs, anyway - they're iPods.

I was kinda hoping Apple would bring back the old-school rainbow Apple logo for their anniversary...but a name change? That's ridiculous.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
