Which company's logo is a bitten apple?

Which company’s logo is a bitten apple? The answer is Apple Inc.

The familiar bitten-apple mark is the corporate logo of Apple Inc., the technology company founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. The logo is an apple silhouette with a bite on one side, making the fruit recognizable even at small sizes and distinguishing it from a cherry or another round fruit.

Apple’s first logo, designed by Ronald Wayne, showed Isaac Newton beneath an apple tree. It was quickly replaced in 1977 by the colorful striped design created by graphic designer Rob Janoff. The rainbow stripes reflected the color-display capabilities of Apple computers at the time.

Apple kept the basic bitten-apple shape while changing its color treatments over the years. The company dropped the rainbow scheme in 1999 and later used monochrome, translucent, and other single-color versions. A persistent myth says the bite honors Alan Turing, but the logo’s designer has explained that the bite primarily helped make the fruit’s shape clear.
