The Land of Lost Logos

Phil Patton macht sich Gedanken über Jack, das Cingular Wireless Logo, das zuletzt bei Steve Jobs’ iPhone-Präsentation in der Öffentlichkeit stand und das nun durch die at&t-Kugel ersetzt wird.

By sad irony, Jack’s end came just as he was poised for a big role–appearing on stage with the Apple logo, as part of Cingular’s deal with Steve Jobs for the iPhone. What a break for a young logo that would have been–to get to work with such an established, classic icon!

But if I were Steve Jobs, I would worry about tying the fate of the iPhone to Cingular or any existing phone network. How successful would the iPod have been if the sound it generated resembled 1930s radio, as the sound of my cell phone does?

Now, the Apple logo will pair with the globe, we can assume.
