Apple Logos

NWAMacTech · Jul 14, 2005, 12:16 PM

I need some very high res apple logo's. I found a website a couple years ago that had them but I cant seem to find it now. I am really specificaly looking for the red aqua logo but all others will be greatly appriciated. This will be printed about 4 feet wide and tall so any graphics gurus know what I need.

email:NWAMacTech@mac.com or post here,but i imagine them being too big.

All i can offer you in the way of help is that <option shift k> gives you the plain apple logo. I would like to see these colored logos too.

iindigo · Jul 14, 2005, 02:35 PM

Hope this is high-res enough

I made it myself:

Thank's, thats great and I think it will work perfectly. Did you draw that yourself? If so can you post instructions on how to do that?

Well, I didn't draw the Apple's shape myself, but I did do the shine.

I just created a new text item in Photoshop, then pressed Option-Shift-K, which is a Mac-only keycode for producing the Apple logo.

After that, I did a little magic with gradients, strokes, and inner glows and viola!

How did you do that? I've done that - and just tried it - and all I get is a "?".

Make sure your font is set to Lucida Grande, Charcoal, or Chicago.

Ah yes, thanks! Why does it only work with those fonts? Just some mystery?

Fonts contain the characters chosen by the font designer. The fonts created by and used by Apple have the characters they wanted/needed.

It probably has something to do with the fact that those fonts at some point have been the operating system's default:

System 1 through 7.5.3 = Chicago
System 7.6 through 9.2.2 = Charcoal
Mac OS X Public Beta - Mac OS X Tiger = Lucida Grande

Thanks, iindigo and Doctor Q.

There you go, a viola is the secret ingredient! That's music to my ears...

It's been quite a long time since I posted the red Apple logo, and my skills have somewhat improved since then. Because of this, I've recreated the logo. Here's the aqua/blue variation:

Muskie · Feb 15, 2007, 01:13 PM

you can also download logos and such from the pr section at apple.com

http://www.apple.com/pr/products/

or maybe not, i just looked through there. i could have sworn there used to be logos. but in any case, lots of nice high-res images of products.
