Original Apple Computer Inc. “Personal Computers” promotional poster from 1980, featuring the large six-color rainbow Apple logo against a black grid background.
This is an original period poster—not a modern reproduction. It is marked:
• “MSR# M30-0580 50K” at the lower left
• “© 1980 Apple Computer Inc.” at the lower right
The design features Apple’s iconic rainbow-striped logo created by Rob Janoff, along with the early “personal computers” and “apple” lettering in the Motter Tektura typeface. It dates to the Apple II/Apple III era, several years before the introduction of the Macintosh.

Condition:
The poster has some crease lines specifically in the center, which has created spaced out white lines from surface wear, possibly from being folded in the past or stored improperly as a tube. It was found rolled up in an estate where it had probably been in storage for many years.
Additional condition details include edge wear, corner wear, surface wrinkles, handling marks, light scuffs, and a small pinhole near each corner from previous display. There are no large tears, missing pieces, or obvious liquid stains. The rainbow colors remain strong and vibrant, and the poster still presents very well from normal viewing distance.
This is a genuine piece of early Apple advertising history suitable for a vintage-computer collection, technology display, office, or professional conservation framing.
It will not be folded again for shipping. It is stored rolled up and will be shipped that way as well, well protected. Please review every photograph for the exact condition.
