Welcome to Think Retro, a new weekly column which is unashamedly in love with yesterday’s Apple. Over the next few weeks you’ll see a mix of practical advice, hidden histories and wildly nostalgic love letters to beautiful old pieces of hardware and software—but we start with the Apple logo. More specifically, we start with the classic, rainbow Apple logo—the real Apple logo, I’m sure you’ll agree. Like a lot of us (http://sixcolors.com/about/), I miss it hugely.</p><p>
Actually, what I miss even more than the abstract idea of the rainbow Apple logo are the little badges that used to be affixed onto Apple hardware, stuck into a perfect, slight recess in the plastic. Here’s what I’m talking about, and in this case, it’s emblazoned on the very last Apple product ever to sport it. (Bonus points to you if you can name which product that was before I tell you at the end!)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2846013/the-retroverse-a-love-letter-to-the-apple-logo.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
