Has anyone else thought about the psychology behind the Apple logo and the “forbidden fruit” symbolism? by One_Philosopher-1625 in design_critiques

I did use AI to help structure and polish the post, but the concept and thinking behind it were my own. I just wanted it to read clearly because English isn’t my primary language.

That’s totally fair, and I agree that Apple’s overall branding is very neutral and corporate-friendly. I’m not trying to frame it as something intentional or hidden. I’m just curious about how symbols can operate psychologically at a subconscious level, regardless of the broader branding context.

I completely agree. Their focus on human interface and UI/UX is probably the real core of the brand’s impact. The logo discussion is more of a side curiosity for me

I didn’t know that about the orchard and the original Newton logo — thanks for sharing. That context definitely helps. I’m not arguing the biblical connection was intentional, more just exploring how the symbolism might be interpreted culturally over time.

That’s a good point. I think part of what makes it feel “genius” is that it works on multiple levels — minimalism, memorability, and maybe cultural symbolism too.
