Loads of Logos (and a followup)

The rumour mill started rolling a little while ago about an upcoming Apple event; the hopes circulating seemed to be that not just new iPads but updated Mac models would show up. I watched as a spectator, supposing my current iMac would have to serve for a few years more before I'd have used it as long as my previous model (which is now doing work for my parents); still, updated hardware might do a little to calm down that ever-bubbling subtext of concern about "the company going where the money is right now, not where I want it to."

Then, I started hearing different artistic takes on the Apple logo were being attached to the invitations to the event. A few of them being interpretations of the historical "six colours" logo did get my attention; then, I saw somebody had posted hundreds of images in a single location. My digital packrat instincts kicked in and I headed off to save the images to my own computer, sure they'd make fine desktop artwork.

Saving over three hundred images took a while, though, and in the midst of that I did get to thinking that much effort might cast whatever got announced at the event under a shadow. When I looked up a bit of news afterwards, however, I saw indeed not just new iPad Pros but also a much-modified MacBook Air (although the model that's become a largish, cheapish portable still seems to be on sale for now) and even an updated Mac mini after the previous model had been on sale for geological eons in computer terms. My brother had pondered buying that old Mac mini when his older MacBook Pro had started malfunctioning, only to settle on an iMac newer than mine. I do know "there's always room for improvement," and for some people there's a lot of room there, but at least I can say I have a new folder full of potential desktop images.
