Well, I have one apple tree of Granny Smith planted in my garden - and I planted it before I found out the connection between the Apple.

Logo on Apple isn't just any apple. It's Granny Smith apple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_Smith

Granny Smith apples are a light speckled green in color, though some may have a pink blush. They are crisp, juicy, tart apples which are excellent for both cooking and eating of the hand. They also are favored for salads because the slices do not brown as quickly as other varieties. A Granny Smith Apple usually has a slightly more sour, sharp flavor than other apples. It also tends to have a harder texture than other green apples, posing problems for denture wearers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Records
A Granny Smith is the apple used on labels for Apple Records.

Is the Apple logo too off-topic?  ??)

Thanks for the info, real01 (I've eaten an apple few minutes ago and I'm begining to doubt if it was a Granny Smith apple or not ... I'd swear it was but it didn't look sooo old!!! ;D )

Thanks!  Yes, I do.  There's a graphic artist down in Atlanta, Georgia that recreated Ringo's 1964 - Ed Sullivan Show drumhead for me.  He's a big Beatles fan himself.....I should email him to join this forum.

He took a 20" Remo head and hand painted the Beatles and Ludwig logos on it as was done on Ringo's original.  He added a period-correct Remo "Weather-King" decal as well.  He sent me a Ludwig 1960s Black Oyster Pearl hoop and hardware to complete the effect.  I think he did a great job.  Here's the original and mine, again, beneath:








Right, no cats or dogs.

You're right - he did do a great job, such attention to detail! What a great thing to have on the office wall!  

Next job?

Yes, he did pay great attention to detail.  He's a perfectionist in his trade.  I ordinarily do have it hanging on the wall, but this is the picture I took just after I framed the head in the hoop he sent.

I should try to find an anchor to really complete the display.

Yes, I think they do...
I'll ask my boss, who is expert in agronomy if he'll recognize the apple from the Apple label...
If he recognizes it - apple resembles.
If he doesn't - maybe he isn't much of an expert :-)
