Typography of Apple Inc.[edit | edit source]
The typography of Apple Inc. has played a significant role in the company's branding and product design. Over the years, Apple has utilized various typefaces to convey its brand identity, from the early days of the Apple I to the modern era of the iPhone and MacBook.
Early Typography[edit | edit source]
Apple's first logo, designed by Ronald Wayne, featured a complex illustration with a banner reading "Apple Computer Co." in a serif typeface. This logo was soon replaced by the more iconic rainbow-striped apple logo designed by Rob Janoff.
In the early years, Apple used the Motter Tektura typeface for its wordmark, which was prominently featured in the company's advertising and packaging.
Think Different Campaign[edit | edit source]
In 1997, Apple launched the "Think Different" campaign, which used the Garamond typeface for its text. This campaign marked a significant shift in Apple's marketing strategy and helped to revitalize the brand.
Myriad and the iPod Era[edit | edit source]
With the introduction of the iPod in 2001, Apple began using the Myriad typeface for its product branding and advertising. Myriad became closely associated with Apple's sleek and modern design aesthetic.
San Francisco Typeface[edit | edit source]
