    You guys need to be a little more respectable now that Steve's got his own Pez Dispenser.

    Actually, that reminds of the Human Reaper at the end of Mass Effect 2. Just.....ugh....

    Yikes. This might give me nightmares.

    To make matters worse (as though that's possible) does the lettering look like a creepy 'love'!?

    Hope this is not the esthetic of the group driving future Apple product designs.

    Maybe they should swap it out with the SF fountain

    It's "art".

    It's a bit strange but you can't say it's not interesting.

    It's not interesting. And why did you put the word art in quotes?

    'What people think is art and what is art is the same and different to the same and different.'

    That's art.

    I like the fountain a lot more.

    The Levi's wall is creative. That is butt ugly. it looks like the afterbirth of Han Solo's frozen state.

    That looks like the terminator T1000, I don't think Steve would've approved!

    I agree.

    I don't get the Cyrillic letters. The whole thing is just deformed and grotesque. I can't see how this could be the best design out of 10,000 submissions.

     

    If you took away all the crap sprouting from the sides, the rustic look could be cool but in its current form I find it very disturbing especially since Steve is so idolized, it just doesn't seem at all congruous with his personality. I wonder what Laurene thinks about it. Perhaps only she could put a stop to this nonsense.

    I don't get the meaning of the Cyrillic letters.


    PS: I hate to invoke the meme but… If Steve Jobs were alive this crap would have never been made.

    Do we have any proof that this is an Apple approved and commissioned work and not some lunatic in Belgrade trying for 15 minutes of fame?

    If they ever do install that thing on the campus they will need a 24/7 armed security team to prevent it from being removed by SJ devotees.

    Maybe that's why they choose such an ugly piece.

    The Appluminati?
