Steve Jobs fans are paying tribute to their technology icon in different ways. A Hong Kong student’s tribute to Jobs has become a major internet hit.
Jonathan Mak, a nineteen-year-old student at Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University School of Design came up with the idea of incorporating Steve Jobs’ face in the bite of the Apple logo, symbolizing Jobs’ departure and his immense contribution to the success of Apple.
The design spread like wildfire on the internet, drawing a flood of comments. Jonathan has even got a job offer, and an offer to create merchandise using his design. The logo was also used as the twitter profile photo for Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher.
“It’s been a crazy day for me. I’m both excited and terrified,” Mak told media.
“Originally, I was going to put a black modified logo against a white background. It just didn’t feel somber enough. I just wanted it to be a very quiet commemoration. It’s just this quiet realization that Apple is now missing a piece. It’s just kind of implying his absence,” he adds.
Mak had first created the logo in August, after Jobs stepped down from the position of Apple CEO. But, it hadn’t created much of a buzz, until he reposted it this Thursday, after Steve Jobs’death.
