Not long ago, Steve Jobs retired from Apple, which was a rather unexpected move. A graphic design student in Hong Kong created a design that was intended to honor the man who literally pioneered the home computer. The design was actually quite simple, it featured a cutout of the apple logo with what appeared to be a bite taken form it. The bite however, was the profile of Steve Jobs. This was a very simple design, and when it was originally posted it only got around 80 comments. When Steve Jobs died, the graphic designer, Jonathan Mak Long re-posted the image.

What happened next, no one could have predicted. The image received thousands of comments and quickly found itself on a number of other websites including Tumblr. There were some that believed it should be the new Apple logo, and there were even people who wanted to use it as a tattoo.

The designer has since received a number of job offers from different companies requiring his unique capabilities, but he has not acted on any of them as of yet. The only certainty right now is the fact that this man has singlehandedly affected the entire world in a way that few could imagine. After all, who could have predicted that the passing of Steve Jobs could have such an effect on the world? Then again, the man was the creator of the first personal computer and one of a few true innovators in this world. It could only be expected.
