Apple Think Different - Jane Goodall - Small

Steve Jobs had just returned to the struggling company, Apple Computer in 1997. Jobs and Lee Clow had collaborated back in 1984 to launch the MacIntosh. Now was the time to recover the sense of Apple’s place in the world of creative users. The TBWA Chiat/Day team said that Apple should be aligned with the creativity of personalities and people making an impact on the twentieth century. The "Think Different" phrase provided an opportunity to celebrate both the creativity of these people but also the distinctiveness of Apple in the computing world, responding to IBM’s historic campaign motto, "Think". The campaign was swiftly approved by Apple, then begun with the television commercial, which first ran on Sept. 28 1997, followed by the print ads, billboards and posters. (Source -Inspiration Room)

This image of Jane Goodall was part of Apple’s "Educators Set", which was printed in 2000 and distributed through its Education Channels. Included with the set was a biography of each person depicted. Here is an excerpt: "Jane Goodall: ‘Observer’. For 40 years, quiet patience has been her gift to the world. Sitting alone in the jungles of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park, she has lovingly studied the behavior of wild chimpanzees, noting their personalities, complex emotions, and eerily familiar problem-solving abilities. Through her books, lectures, and the Roots and Shoots program, an environmental and humanitarian program for young people, she has helped millions of people understand the importance of respecting all living things. By herself and through the work of the Jane Goodall Institute, she continues to inspire projects that promote care and concern for people, animals, and the environment."
