@drdrang nice! But this conversation can’t be had without mentioning Susan Kare, the woman responsible for those early Apple icons.

In early 2007 when I was in San Francisco to cover Macworld 2007, we rented a car and visited the Mothership in Cupertino.

After our tour of 1 Infinite Loop, I sought out the restroom and found it, marked with this sign that I photographed.

It stunned me and has sat restless in my mind these 20 years. How can this be the Apple HQ men's bathroom sign??

Edit: It's about the text centering.

For my last #MARCHintosh 2024 post, I point to a particularly iconic work by Susan Kare (do you see what I did there?!) from the early days of the Macintosh, as seen at the "Places of Invention" exhibit at the National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.

Steve Jobs, rendered in pixels, 32x32, black and white. On paper ... and flesh. Obviously, I am fond of the work. 🙂

Two related blog posts with more info and a exhibit photo gallery link:
