I just meant is that REALLY why. I am familiar with the Rainbow Apple.
I think it looks great! Not everyday you see steps or cups like that. As far as other meanings go.. people are so quick to judge others these days. Try living your best life instead of bashing others. We need more happiness.. so much hate in the world today. How quickly things have changed.
Apple Park is decorated with the colors of Apple's classic rainbow logo today in celebration of the formal opening of Apple's new headquarters, and as a tribute to its late co-founder Steve Jobs, who helped conceptualize the spaceship-like design of the main building on the campus prior to his death.
First and foremost, Apple has set up a stage with a rainbow arch within the inner circle of the main building, as we shared last week.
The rainbow colors can further be seen on some stairs and walkways at Apple Park, on coffee cups at the Caffè Macs employee cafeteria, and on some of Apple's shuttle buses. Apple employees have also received classic Apple rainbow logo pins with the message "thank you for being part of what makes Apple, Apple."
Apple's design chief Jony Ive reflected on the rainbow's significance in a recent interview:Rumors suggest that Lady Gaga will be making a special performance at Apple Park later today. The pop star has visited Apple before, having previously dropped by its Infinite Loop campus to visit Steve Jobs. Apple executive Eddy Cue recounted that experience in an interview with Steven Levy last year:Lady Gaga also performed at the iTunes Festival at the Roundhouse in London in 2013.
Apple employees began moving into Apple Park as early as the spring of 2017, but the process took many months, and some construction and landscaping also continued for quite some time. A recent drone video showed that the campus now looks lush and green, with hundreds of trees and a large central pond.
Lady Gaga's performance would in all likelihood be a private event for Apple employees.

This makes me so happy!
Remind me who it was who killed off the rainbow logo?
Steve Jobs never looked back... yesterday's "insanely great product" was always the next year keynotes "this is the best thing we've ever shipped, everything before it doesn't matter." In that sense, Steve Jobs wouldn't have gone back to a 20 year old logo, he dismantled Apple's history museum, icon garden... anything from the past.
Classic Apple logo.

More pesky facts getting in the way of blather.

How is the classic Apple logo a mixed signal? If it reminds you of a time when you liked Apple better, that’s not a mixed signal. The decorators weren’t like, “Hey, let’s remind people of the days when Steve Jobs retook charge of Apple, but also remind OneBagTravel of when he liked Apple better.” Any second meaning is emanating purely from you and others who have some problem with Apple, and they existed then too.

Always loved the original rainbow colored Apple logo. I grew up with that as my dad always used Apple computers and I got his hand me downs.
I really don’t agree with this point. If You go back and watch some of Steve’s keynotes including the iconic iPhone announcement they’re full of references to Apple’s history and past products. The main things that don’t get mentioned are things that Apple did during his exile.
Or, going back thousands of years before the Bible, in ancient Australia, the Rainbow Serpent symbolized creation, destruction and renewal.
Maybe there’s some connection between the rainbow serpent and the rainbow apple?

The old logo may have had a variety of colors... but it’s pretty obvious what’s going on here.
You've got it all wrong.

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.....

Looks fun. Jobs would've probably like to walk around that on acid.
+ Its about a month early for pride month, don't know why it'd be about that.

still my favorite logo if only because it brings me back to my youth
Or that it might "turn them" gay!

I'll bite... What's going on there?
Wait, people still think calling Tim Cook Tim Crook is clever or funny?
I would love love love if they brought back the rainbow-color Apple logo, even if only for a few months.
It was Apple's logo for 20 years. It was branded on all of their products including the Mac.

I never liked rainbows (other than the real ones), and I never will, despite loving the individual colors.
When I first discovered Apple, thankfully Steve Jobs had already retired that UGLY logo.
Thus I find all of this hideous.
Damnit, Tim. Dammit, Steve. I blame YOU for putting him in charge.
DAMMIT.

Glad to see Apple focusing on the important things. Who cares about creating great new products when you can wallow in past glories?
It reminds me of "Micro$oft". Hopefully nobody is still using that.
Sorry for being vague...I understand all of that. I just think Tim Cook has devalued the rainbow logo as an "Apple" thing. The watch faces don't herald back to the golden era do they?
Whatever personal opinion you're trying to interject here doesn't change history.
