Extended information:
In 1976, Apple's first logo was drawn with a pen by Roy Wayne. The design was inspired by Newton's discovery while thinking under the apple tree. The law of universal gravitation, Apple also wants to imitate Newton and devote itself to technological innovation.
However, this logo graphic is complex and difficult to remember. It was only used during the production of Apple I, so it was quickly abandoned by Apple.
In 1976, Jobs decided to re-appoint Rob Janov, the art director of the Regis McKenna public relations company, to redesign a better logo to match the release of Apple II. So Janov started making a black and white silhouette of an apple.
