Disagree. The people that buy Porches and Macs see that logo as iconic. Sexy as fuck.
Sexy in the LGBTQI+ sense, yes. There's nothing wrong with that, and sends an inclusive message which is good. However, not sure if Apple would want to go that direction.
Ah, they just today did Formula E in a Pink Pig livery ( https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/1062899 ) but I think the Apple livery might have been more apt.
edit: on second look, it doesn't seem like the same pink but it is a similar aesthetic. Surely a homage but maybe not as direct as I thought.
apple should go back to their classic logo minimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality.

I think now it would be confused with the lgb** flags
This is a strange sounding title. It sounds like Porsche was fighting against Apple’s colors in Laguna Seca, when instead they’ll be used on Porsche cars.

Got down voted here but I was being serious. That greige colour of early Apple was part of the branding that made room for the colourful logo . These race cars break design rules and look worse for it.
There was no shortage of bright white plastic in late 80s-early 90s Apple products. //c, Unidisk 3.5, and the like. It all looked fine.

Yeah except the race cars look amazing, and this is one of those liveries that has been legendary for decades.
Also. Personally, I don't think the cars look great in white.

I recall mostly greige from that period, changing slightly in hue between the Apple IIe and (say) the Quadra line. Citation needed
We used a lot of those where I worked, back in the day. They were as white as the driven snow.
IIRC some of the //cs were a silvery-greige color, like the IIGS, but the first ones were certainly white.

E.g., https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20P... for some good shots of the 800k UniDisk drives. We used a lot of those where I worked, back in the day.
