Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

By the way, I noticed something interesting on the Maclock sticker,

On the rainbow X, there’s a small boundary between the green and yellow stripes.

It made me think about the classic Apple rainbow logo… and suddenly it clicked for me.

Did anyone else notice what’s going on there?

I'm afraid we need to start from the beginning...

What is Maclock? And why do they have a sticker?

LOL. I read it as MAC LOCK, not MA CLOCK. Funny. Yes, I've seen that gizmo before. Never knew about a sticker though. But it raises the question why the sticker is an X.

In any case, the gap in the colors could easily be explained as a Chinese manufacturer saying something like, "See. We aren't copy Apple's 6 colors. We have a gap!"

There's a gap between the leaf and the apple in the real logo, so...

I bought a MaClock from RayCue and it had a logo on the front (that I didn't want). Kokogol.com said theirs didn't have any logo on the front, and they were honest - same hardware, even the same instruction sheet, etc. Just no logo on the front, and some different wording on the box.

It looks like there are actually two versions of the MacClock sticker.

One is the rainbow Apple logo version, and the other is this rainbow X version.

My MacClock came with the Apple logo sticker.
Sideburn mentioned that his first or second unit had the Apple logo, while the 3rd one had the rainbow X.

ScutBoy, you got it!

The gap between the green and yellow stripes does match the separation between the leaf and the apple in the original Apple logo.

But when I overlaid the X logo with the classic Apple rainbow logo, I noticed something even more interesting.

Several parts line up almost perfectly:

• the top shoulders of the X align with the round top of the apple
• the upper notch of the X fits the leaf position
• the side indentation matches the apple bite
• the lower V shape aligns with the bottom curve of the apple

So it almost feels like the designer analyzed the structure of the Apple rainbow logo and reconstructed it into an X.

If that was intentional, I think it’s actually a brilliant piece of design.

@Sideburn Your photo actually made me look much closer at the X logo
