Vintage Apple Personal Computers Rainbow Logo Poster 1980 Mint

Original 1980 Apple Computer "Rainbow Logo" Dealer Poster – MSR# M30-0580
NOTE: I have several of these and pictures are representative of the lot.
 
The Work
A definitive artifact of the personal computing revolution, this original 1980 promotional poster features the iconic six-color "Rainbow Apple" logo designed by Rob Janoff. Set against a precision architectural grid, the composition utilizes "Motter Tektura"—the avant-garde typeface that defined Apple’s visual identity during the Apple II and Apple III era.
This specific "Personal Computers" edition was issued to authorized dealers to establish Apple’s presence in the early 1980s. It represents a pivot point in graphic design history, marking the moment technology moved from the hobbyist's basement to the professional's desk.

Provenance & Collectibility
Authenticated by the MSR# M30-0580 designation, this is a verified original from the 50,000-unit dealer print run. As early Apple ephemera continues to appreciate in both the fine art and tech-collecting markets, examples in this condition are increasingly scarce. This is a investment-quality piece suitable for professional conservation framing.
