It ain't easy being green. New York City's latest green campaign, GreeNYC, is getting a kick in the shins courtesy of Apple czar Steve Jobs. Wired reports that according to the iMagnate, GreeNYC's logo, a figure-8 apple with a stalk, resembles Apple's trademark apple (see above courtesy of Gothamist). Around the same time New York and Co filed to trademark their new logo, Apple filed an opposition. Apple's worry: the two apples would confuse consumers.
But in my book, whoever heads to City Hall to purchase the latest iPod Nano shouldn't be handling sophisticated technology in the first place.
