Keyboard: Missing Apple Logo Found? [Updated]

One point of discussion about Apple's new keyboard is the absence of the Apple logo on the Command-Key of the keyboard. It seems it may not have been decided upon until late in the release (or reserved for international keyboards?)



Interestingly, Apple's Spanish site (and other international sites) has a photo of the iMac keyboard with the Apple logo still on the Command key. Apple's U.S. site shows the proper image.

Update: Apple has corrected the keyboard to reflect the "Command" labeled button.

That's bizarre.

I guess it doesn't really matter, but I kind of liked it there.

I love the new key board, but I am a little sad that the apple is gone. :(

Labeling it clearly as "Command" will avoid confusion. I think the apple logo was only ever there to be like the Apple II!

Now Apple just needs to stop using the cryptic symbols (on-screen) for Option and Control...

How do you type those symbols, anyways. I know the Apple logo is cmd-opt-K

It's taken me *years* to start saying "Command+Q" instead of "Apple+Q."

Years!

Not to date myself, but it too me long enough just to quit saying "Open Apple+Q."

Still - as sentimental as I can be, I really don't have a problem with having the Apple logo dropped from the command key.

ETA - Just an observation, but the keys on the keyboard on the Spanish page are slightly smaller than on the US page.

makes sense considering we no longer need to "open-apple control escape" or "closed apple etc etc".

Though I wish they would put the name and symbol on all the modifiers. I still for get which is which when I see the symbol.

Not only the Spanish site is showing the Apple symbol, but the Belgian and French one too... Perhaps the logo stays on the European keyboard?

I was all ready to buy, until I noticed that the logo is missing, so I went with a Dell instead.

Sob.

This marks the end of an era.

More annoyed about the lack of numeric keypad. Would have liked to get the newer wireless keyboard, but the lack of numerica keypad makes it a non-starter for me.

Was I the only person telling people to use "apple-q" to quit, "apple-s" to save?

Maybe it's some "open apple" and "closed apple" key lust from the Apple // days, but now I wonder what all of those people will do.
