Apple logo

[snopes]

Comment: I recently noticed a post on facebook claiming that the Apple
computer logo is often referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the
bite mark being a reference to his method of suicide. The post goes on to
say that during a British TV Show called QI, in series 1, episode 13,
Stephen Fry recounts having a conversation about it with Steve Jobs, who
basically confirmed that it was true.

Is this accurate?

Every indication that I have gotten is that the logo (and the company name) came from a summer where Jobs we picking apple’s at an orchard. I don’t think it has anything to do with Turing since the very first Apple logo was a depiction of Issac Newton sitting under a tree.

According to Wikipedia:

This logo is often erroneously referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the bite mark a reference to his method of suicide. Both the designer of the logo and the company deny that there is any homage to Turing in the design of the logo.

I simply don’t think Jobs would have confirmed something like this given the company officially denied the thing and given the first logo didn’t involve an Apple at all.

IIRC Fry didn't confirm it in that episode of QI, he said that he asked Jobs about it and Jobs said that he wished it was true but it wasn't.
