Challenge...what year did the color stripes disappear? (Seems like yesterday to me). What was the fist product with the new single-color logo? Why was the color stripe logo "so bloody expensive"?

To recreate the rainbow apple required a four-color printing process. Once they went to red, they were down to one color.
And is it even red anymore? Didn’t they reduce the color to a gray with gradient fills to create a volumetric effect? Don’t even need a spot color for that: it comes out looking correct in black every time on any printer you care to use!
Hmmmmm. The Bondi Blue iMac? in aqua if I remember correctly. And the non-rainbow Apple (wrong order for the colors to be a true rainbow) was printed in spot colors and required six runs through the press in addition to any black print.
The stripes disappeared in ‘98-’99; the iMac (G3) was the first product with the mono Apple; and I haven’t a clue: I’m a Windows/Linux guy!
Given the current management, I would expect the rainbow logo to be resurrected so Apple can once again show their true colors.
