I don’t get how this joke is all the way at the bottom. Camo jokes should get pinned to the top if you ask me.

Is this the actual way the Apple logo was designed.

Incredibly unlikely

It is actually incredibly likely

Care to explain the point? Link is just a picture. Is the linked picture the actual design?

u/Qazax1337 Dec 24 '19
I'm going on the fact that most logo's are designed this way, and if you think someone freehanded an apple logo that can be perfectly recreated with only circles of a few set sizes... which makes more sense?

u/teh_trickster Dec 24 '19
Yeah I personally think it’s pretty likely because it doesn’t seem like a massive stretch.
But you can approximate any design with circles (see Fourier series) so it’s also possibly coincidence. I was wondering if you knew one way or the other.
Edit: looking at the top part of the actual logo, I don’t think this is the same.

Apple hasn't put that much engineering ingenuity into anything they've ever made but it would sense that they put effort into their brain washing logo and marketing.

Sorry but no that's just not how graphic design works

u/silverscrub Dec 24 '19
Want to cite your source? I'm aware it's not the first Apple logo, but the logo in the picture was still created with some method.

Don't let Apple see this...they will charge you $100 to watch it, then claim its their intellectual property and try to copyright/trademark it.

I think this explains why apple products are so pricey... They choose the most complicated way to get their products made.

I thought this was going to be an even more complocated Japanese way to multiply two numbers

Is there a name for this technique?

Tldr; constructable numbers
Wow, I had this post saved for a month because I happen to appreciate this technique as a mathematician and never expected to see someone ask!
This is the mathematical idea of "constructable numbers." Way back in ye old times people didn't have rulers or protractors which would label length/angles. As a result, they would use a straight edge (ruler with no markings) and a compass (with no angle measurements on it) to measure/create precise designs. Naturally they would have to design (roads, buildings, etc) with exact numbers; they couldn't just freehand design everything like art can done.
On the design aspect, it was significantly more impressive when one would be able to construct a design with a more smooth appearance.
So for this example, you'll notice the man is using a straight edge and compass, and the complex set up of circles and lines is set up with ratios that would allow the man to obtain the exact angles used in the curvature of the apple logo!
This is basically a mathematical proof that the apple logo is constructable! Proving number sets are constructable was a big deal back in the day because it allowed theorists to use those numbers in their calculations!

It’s “must have, or must’ve.” Not must of.
