Steve Jobs, on Paul Rand
On the NeXT Logo
In 1986 Jobs approached Rand to design the logo for his NeXT educational computer company. After obtaining permission from IBM, Jobs offered Rand a handsome sum to develop a logo for a product that was not yet public. The only thing Rand knew was that the mysterious NeXT computer was a black cube.
This is a great article for any design or Apple nerds.

Steel and Glass
Well, it’s here. And it’s got a familiar face.
With all new insides, the iPhone 4S keep the same glass/steel ice cream sandwich design we’ve all become very familiar with since last summer.
In fact, the 4S is exactly the same, except for two minor changes:
- It weighs 3 grams more than the iPhone 4.
- It now has four symmetric notches in the steel band, like the CDMA iPhone 4 and a micro-SIM slot on the side, like the GSM version.
Side by side, no normal, non-nerd human would notice.
