The general theory has been that Apple logo was dedicated to Allen who ended his life by eating a poisoned apple. Well, truth is a designer named Rob says; he made the Apple show the dimensions in the shape as bitten from the right side so the Apple can easily be figured out and not confused with any other fruit shape.

In 1962, a psychologist named Louis Cheskin was hired by McDonald who suggested replacing the the Cook logo with golden arches making an “M.”. He suggested that such a shape resembles female breasts. Weird, ehh!

We have seen trending posts on social media about the story of this logo but that is a hoax. The picture on the left is of a lion undergoing a MRI. Few know that there have actually been 7 different lions used for this purpose, trained to roar on a cue.
