Apple challenges Woolworths logo | BBC NEWS Technology giant Apple has launched a legal challenge against Australian supermarket chain Woolworths over the company’s corporate logo. The “stylised W” designed to represent fresh produce looks too similar to Apple’s own logo, the maker of the iPhone and iPod said. I was going to say it just looks like an apple. A bit like the Le Crunch logo. They do sell fricking apples, after all. But apparently the Woolworths legal team are arguing that it doesn’t necessarily look like an apple at all: “We absolutely say it is a stylised ‘W’ that can be any kind of fresh produce. Some people say it looks like a lettuce, some people say it can be a pumpkin.” Of course they do. And then there’s this: Apple is reportedly concerned that the supermarket may start to make electronics products that would be in direct competition with its own offerings. Because everyone loved the iSnack? Some silly shit goes on in this world. Silly, silly shit.
