Well, I'm sure their trained designer with a little bit of experience used his judgement that a "little" or more standard size logo on the front of the iMac wouldv'e been, um in bad judgement. The base is fairly large and a small logo would have gotten lost, would've looked out of place and would've been bad design. The logo is a perfect size for the size of area it fills. I assume the same is for the eMac.
It's only good design, not an ego or lack of taste bud thing.
you gotta see a mock up before you say it would look stupid.

You'd really like a computer that's Graphite all over? I can't even imagine how bad that would look, but maybe you're right about seeing a mockup first I guess.

I can see how one would imagine it looking bad but I can also picture it looking very great.
I'm thinking a graphite similar to the sides of the G4 case.
The Cube was the coolest design ever to come out of Apple in my opinion. I was a chump and bought a sawtooth four months before the Cube was announced. If I'd waited I'd have a much smaller, much quieter, and 10X cooler machine sitting next to me right now. I doubt Apple will ever reintroduce the design, but I really want them to.
"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste...I don't mean that in a small way--I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their product?So I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success--I have no problem with their success; they've earned their success for the most part--I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products." (May 1996)
There's a video of it floating around the web, too.
About taste:
I don't know. They've made a green, an orange, and even a polka-dot computer a few years ago.
Yeah, the Photoshop job is a horrible, 1 minute mess. But do you think if Apple made iMacs in other colors they would make them solid like above, or translucent, similar to old iMacs?

Better late than never.

I'm open to the idea of different colors of the new iMacs, but, would you seriously want to buy something that looks like this?

I'd say they're getting better, not worse.

Hopefully translucent.

No offense to people who own one, and I know some of you actually like it, but what was Apple thinking?
I could see a kid carrying that, but a grown man carrying it using the built in handle looked absoulutely silly.
But all this goes to show how quickly trendy designs last.
That's why I believe the current laptops will still be stylish many years from now.
