I think Apple eventually came around to seeing things your way, since the archive page does not have the Apple logo on it. http://www.apple.com/hotnews/articles/2005/10/rosaparks/

As soon as you read it you get it – but I like it and I don’t think it cheapens Apple’s tribute to Ms. Parks. After all, I don’t think the Apple company needs to use a tribute to broaden the advertising of their fantastic products.

I think that the only reason Apple put the logo in the corner of the picture was so that people realised it was a message from apple on the apple site. If you didn’t know Apples website, you might thnnk you were on a history site with a couple of ad banners above and below Rosa Parks.

I agree 100%. What does Apple and Rosa Parks share in common? Nothing that I know of.

It’s more a matter of knowing and respecting your clients (Or those who buy your products). I think Apple has no need to put their logo on somehting they consider a tribute because, yes, as said before, it’s their appropriation of said myth to connect with their own.

It’s weak and shows a lock of personal creative drive within the company to think differently on their own. By riding on the accomplishments of others, Apple fails to create it’s own personality.

Apple has done that to some degree, but really this is no more than a Coca-Cola sponsorship moment. I refuse to watch tv because the advertising is so blatant, anyone who isn’t strongly aware or annoyed by it is brain dead.

The letter M, brought to you today by Monsanto, and the letter R by Rosa Parks and Apple. You associate the two and it combines and enhances Apple. If apple REALLY wanted to do a tribute, they’d contribute to a civil rights organization workingon one, or anonymously.

This is like any politician that shows up at the end to cut the ribbon on someone else’s hard work. It’s lame.

Rosa Parks was a brave person. I’m not against tributes for her by private companies. However, what about some tributes that are even more relevant to our present time? How about a tribute to the thousands of brave Americans in our military today who are fighting the world war againts terror in Iraq, Afghanistan etal.?

They should never use their log on their website. That’s crass commercialism. And what does Apple, or for that matter the US government, have to do with the Indian Ocean or Tsunamis?
