Apple addressed the reason for that in the Apple event. It made sense.
Well you did create the thread, so...
Got a tip for us?

Why on earth did they leave the apple logo off the front ??

I bet these will come with stickers perfectly sized to add to the chin of this iMac created for it.
So you'll get to choose if you want the logo on it and where.

The "Apple logo" v. "no logo" is perhaps the most trivial argument I've yet seen on MacRumors.
Kind of like that Seinfeld tv show?

I wonder, what does everyone think of the badge on their steering wheel?
I agree. I think the chin looks larger without the logo. And more like a basic PC monitor.
I'm typing this on my 27" Imac. And viewing it on an extension monitor/graphics tablet that is actually covering up the chin.
And, I'm surviving!!! It's almost like the chin and the logo aren't that big of a deal!
I'm typing on a 2015 MBP 15" without any logo or name on the bezels - does not bother me at all - and I don't need to show it off to others IMO....
The logo is sold separately. $29. Jk
but I would still buy one if it were true. I have a love affair with this company and want to be reminded of it every time I sit at my desk.

Only when thinking about the “I know what shape the bruise on my face will be if the airbags deploy” scenario. Otherwise I don’t give it much thought.
Very happy with the lack of explicit branding on the front.
It has been rumoured that the logo stickers that come with every iMac will be colour matched.
So you’re saying that when sitting at your desk with your purchased Apple computer that you really don’t know it’s a Apple computer unless you have the Apple logo on it, and you want to be reminded of this. Am I right? 🤪The logo is sold separately. $29. Jk

To my eye, the chin needs something to break up such a large expanse of a single color. (It feels like a bland dish that needs some spice.) The Apple logo is one option, and the expected one. I enjoy the aesthetics of the Apple logo.
People do buy art even though it has no utility. There's nothing wrong with appreciating the aesthetics of something independently of appreciating the utility. On the other hand, I have a number of friends who couldn't care less about aesthetics and I respect that.

Did it ever occur to you that many people do like and prefer the clean front of the new iMac and don't want the logo? I realize it's impossible to believe since ALL of Apple's customers reside on MR (🙄) and if they don't like it then that represents the majority...
I think my post misled you and seems to have upset you. The second paragraph was a separate point from the first. The first paragraph described my emotional response. The second paragraph was just trying to say an emotional response is a valid one. Your enjoying the clean front is an example of that.
A number of posts in this thread are of people relaying their emotional responses to something and others trying to logically argue them out of them. That was the motivation for my second paragraph.
You just made me like the new design more. Now I wish they had removed the logo earlier, that old iMac looks really cool IMO.

Ok but the G3 said "iMac" on the front, which would have been a cool retro move for the new 24".
I am convinced this is a money making move Apple is probably saving millions by omitting it. Greed has blinded them, one could argue that they should have the apple logo on all their adapters as well but nope more savings. Very short-sighted approach.
Yes, agreed!
Why people obsess over logos, bezel colors, and screen size are so vain.
I buy computers for what they do - it's a tool.
Just like a fire extinguisher or firearm = emergency rescue tools....
They are putting a single logo on the back, same as the notebooks. You don’t need to see it, you know you are on a Mac, others passing by get to seethe Apple logo. Plus, I’m thinking that Apple tried different logo styles, anodised, cut out, printed and they all looked bad so they left it clean. Also, they know that bit is used for post it notes with your passwords on anyway. Another thought, maybe the design team were pissed off at tv and movie companies covering the logo all of the time, so they left it off, LOL.
