How to type the Apple Logo

November 6th, 2009 - Apple.com, How to, Mac OS X

Typing the Apple Logo is a fun little trick that’s easy to do and looks pretty cool:

So how do you do it with your Mac keyboard?

Option+Shift+K will type the Apple logo as so: 

I have no idea what this is displayed like to a Windows user, so don’t be surprised if it looks like something totally different, but on Mac you will see the Apple logo in all it’s glory.

Note: see the comments below for how to type the Apple logo on various world keyboards. Thank you to our readers for supplying this information!

on windows it looks like an “F8″ on top and “FF” underneath, all in a small box. Weird.

 A simple Alt + A works on the Norwegian keyboard. 

The Alt + Shift + K makes the degrees symbol on the Norwegian keyboard (º). You have to mention which keyboard you are using! They’re all different and not everyone is using the same one around the world ;)

On a Windows keyboard, it’s ‘cover it in petrol, set fire to it, and throw it as far as you can’. Might as well be that, because you can’t do much else with it.
