Steve Job’s vision for Apple Computer was to sell to everyone, not just
to computer engineers. He turned to some friends for advice about
how to do that. Apple was going to need a catchy logo. The Apple logo
was made by Rob Wayne, a co-founder of Apple Computer
In 1977, Jobs had Rob Janoff design the new logo which was an apple
shape with a bite out of it and the colour in a different order. The
word was a reference to the computer term "byte", meaning
knowledge. In 1997, the logo changed again to a solid colour.
• The 30-page Preliminary Macintosh
Business Plan, released internally
within Apple Computer in 1982,
describes the market position the
Apple Macintosh could fill and the
plans they envisaged for themselves.
• The business plan consists of :
 Apple Product Overview
 Macintosh Markets & Software
Ranking
 Macintosh Organisation, staffing and
budgets
 Open Issues
• Control the uncontrollable
• Forget the low end
• Use partnership as a last resort
• Obsess over the little things
• The Exclusivity Technique
• Success by design
• Pricing
• Distribution
• The hype
• For any product that Apple create, the
people who create it have to want it
themselves
• The products are easy to use
• Keep things simple
• Apple only makes a product if Apple can do
it better
• Apple stays at least two years ahead of its
competitors
