Apple Designed Interactive Logo for September 9 Event
Apple Designed Interactive Logo for September 9 Event
Apple created a unique interactive Apple logo for its September 9 event, which can be interacted with on the main Apple.com website. The website currently features an animated Apple logo front and center, which changes when touched. On an iPhone or an iPad, holding a finger over the Apple logo shifts it to a darker orange the longer you hold, and when swiping, the colors will change and follow your finger. On the Mac, you can use a mouse or a trackpad for the same effect. The Apple logo for the "Awe Dropping" event is designed to look like a thermal map or the output that you might see on a thermal camera. The colors change from shades of blue to shades of orange, perhaps a nod to the new ‌iPhone‌ colors that are expected. The #AppleEvent invite on Apple's website is interactive! pic.twitter.com/8FA9WCrtTH— Aaron (@aaronp613) August 26, 2025 Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Pro models could be available in orange and dark blue, while the iPhone 17 Air is expected to come in a light blue shade. Apple used to do interactive augmented reality Apple logo designs that could be projected into the room with you, but the company stopped doing that in 2023. Since then, Apple has created animated Apple logos, some of which can be interacted with on the Apple.com website. The upcoming September 9 event will see Apple unveiling new iPhones and Apple Watch models, and perhaps a new version of the AirPods Pro. It's set to take place at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.Tag: September 2025 Apple Event This article, "Apple Designed Interactive Logo for September 9 Event" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Saw Aliens in 70mm and it was pretty amazing how seamless all of the work was. Miniatures, practical, stop motion, optical fx and everything just blended so beautifully.Was a blowup but still impressive.

This is a 2 hr video about Tenet. I think it made me understand the movie less but still appreciate it more?

Working on projects I feel like you never actually get to do the fine tuning you’d love to because of budget / schedule.

Real world vs Idealized world.

Everything has to align otherwise it’s make the best of what you can.
