The origin of the name of Apple is that Jobs proposed to call it "Apple" because he was eating fruit meals during that time.

The two founders of Apple, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, once discussed several names, such as the typical technical name "Matrix". Later, Jobs suggested calling it "Apple" because he was eating fruit meals during that time and thought the name sounded interesting, energetic and not scary. Moreover, this name can be listed in the phone book ahead of computer game manufacturer Atari.

Origin of the trademark:

In 1976, Apple’s first logo was drawn with a pen by Ron Wayne. The design inspiration comes from Newton's discovery of the law of universal gravitation while thinking under the apple tree. Apple also wants to imitate Newton's commitment to technological innovation. However, this logo was complex and difficult to remember. It was only used during the production of Apple I, so it was quickly abandoned by Apple.

In 2001, the Apple logo became transparent. The main purpose was to match the Mac OS X system that was first launched on the market. This time Apple's core brand value has changed from computers to computer systems, and the Apple logo has also followed the system's interface style changes, adopting a transparent texture.

In 2007, it was changed again to metallic silver gray with shadow. When Apple launched the iPhone, it also officially changed its company name from Apple Computers to Apple Inc. The Apple logo uses a glass texture logo, designed to match the iPhone's innovative introduction of Multi-touch touch screen technology, bringing a new user experience.

In 2013, it was changed to a pure black logo with a flat style and no concave and convex feeling.
