This stack of Apple logo stickers features the classic multicolor Apple logo and the logotype printed in Apple Garamond, Apple’s corporate font from 1984–2003.
The stickers are clear rectangles measuring 3.625 inches tall and 2 inches wide. (The stickers are not die-cut to match the logo outline like many other Apple logo stickers.) The sticker backing is beige. It is unknown if the backing was originally beige or if it has discolored over time.
This stack contains approximately 50 stickers.
This key light features a black Apple logo and the black Apple logotype printed in Apple Garamond, Apple’s corporate font from 1984–2003.
The light operates by squeezing the black base that causes an LED light to illuminate the clear plastic end that is printed with the logo. This key light is in its original box and has a silver keyring attached on a silver chain.
The light runs on two “189” style watch batteries. It measures 2 inches tall, 1.25 inches wide, and is 0.125 inch on the edge (thicker in the center).
Warning to collectors: The logo is alcohol-soluble (this one was unaffected!).
This window cling features the classic multicolor Apple logo design and the Apple Computer logotype in the Apple Garamond font. The back is printed with the words, “Show your Apple colors! Static ‘no glue’ logo for the inside of your car window. Call 800-373-0877 for more!” The back also uses the Apple Garamond font. Its product number is L01970A.
The window cling is die-cut and the paper on which it is printed measures 8.2×6.4 cm.
This matte black mug features a glossy black Apple logo and a glossy black interior. It has a primarily cylindrical shape with a rounded bottom.
I also have a mug in my collection with the same design—except it has a glossy white interior.
This vertical strip of five translucent-style Apple logos features the five “fruit colors” of the 1999 iMac G3 computers: lime, tangerine, grape, blueberry, and strawberry. The set measures 21.7×5.1 cm (8.125 x 2 inches), and each sticker is a circle measuring 38 mm (1.5 inches) in diameter.
This embroidery Apple Logo is made of thread in the classic multicolor Apple logo design. It has a sticker-adhesive back and measures 2×2.7 cm.
I do not know the origin of this logo.
This water bottle is clear plastic with a stainless steel base and a screw-on lid. The lid is attached to the bottle with a black canvas strap. The bottle includes markers from 6 ounces to 23 ounces and a black printed Apple logo.
The bottle is manufactured by h2go and includes a cardboard insert that designates that it is Bisphenol A (BPA) free.
I have four Apple button designs in my collection that are rectangle or square.
Power Macintosh (c. 1995)
This button is 5.4×5.4 cm, featuring an image of a 1995-era Power Macintosh computer and Apple monitor over a background of flames with the words Power Macintosh in the Apple Garamond font.
Windows 95 = Macintosh ‘89 (c. 1995)
This button is black and white and measures 5.2×7.8 cm, featuring the classic multicolor Apple logo along with the words Windows 95 = Macintosh ’89 in the Apple Garamond font.
Yum. (c. 1999)
This button is white and measures 5.2×7.8 cm, featuring the word Yum. in the Apple Garamond font and five iMac computers in all five colors, tangerine, lime, strawberry, blueberry, and grape.
G5 It’s here. (2005)
This button is black and measures 5.2×7.8 cm, featuring the G5 logo and the words It’s here. in the Myriad Apple font.
I obtained this INY (I[Apple logo]NY) button at the MacWorld Expo in New York City in 2001. The conference was held at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center beginning on Wednesday, July 18, 9:00 a.m. with a keynote by Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
Historically, this MacWorld was notable in that is wasn’t particularly notable—Apple debuted speed-bumped iMac G3 models in Snow, Indigo, and Graphite (replacing all other colors and patterns, what would become the final round of CRT iMac models), and a faster Power Mac G4 tower.
The button is an homage to the I Love New York (stylized I❤NY) slogan. Apple replaced the red ❤ with a translucent red Apple logo.
I have five of these buttons in my collection.
This Apple-logo design t-shirt is curiously labeled “Apple Park T-shirt Black / Rainbow.” The design depicted on the box shows a black t-shirt with a classic, multicolor Apple logo (not the Apple Park logo also offered at this location).
This t-shirt was purchased at the Apple Visitor Center Apple Store at Apple Park. Its product number is HLEW2LL/A. The shirt is a size XXL, unopened in its original box.
