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
