Why Doesn't Adobe Have a Cool Logo to Use?

I was looking for the "official" Adobe logo to place on my Photoshop portfolio with tagline "Built with Adobe" and can't seem to figure out what is their logo and where to download it.
The image searches all look like knockoffs.
Apple on the other hand, has the Iconic Finder face and Apple logos everywhere...does Adobe frown on people using their logo — why isn't it easily available (or am I somehow missing it)?
Where is it?

I agree about the Apple sticker. I have two in the side windows of my Bug. Actually they're more of an "ice breaker" than they are a way of saying Made on a Mac. My VW was made on an assembly line in Wolfsburg, Germany, but people see the stickers and they say, "Hey, I just switched to Mac!" And even if they don't know about forty-year-old air cooled german cars, they have something to talk about with me. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever seeing a "Windows XP" or "Vista" sticker anywhere but on the tower of a PC loaded with it. I've seen a few HP stickers, but they were on company cars, so I doubt it was solely product pride.
Here's a good example of why I don't stick logos on stuff anymore. The last four sites I built for people, I told them how I was going to be using CSS for layout design, PHP for their contact forms, Javascripts, and whatever else I was building. All fourof them said, "I don't know anything about any of that stuff. That's why you're building it and I'm not. They didn't really care if I built it on my MacBook or my Toshiba laptop, they didn't really care if I hand wrote the code, or if I  let Dreamweaver do most of the back end work. As long as it looked right when I was done and they got a good place in a Google search, none of it mattered to any of them. As long as the header logo matched the company logo, they didn't care if I used Fireworks, Photoshop, or Corel Draw to put it together.
99% of the people you meet won't give a crap one way or another what you use to make what they want. As long as you make it the way they want, that's all that matters. My mother is a painter. She doesn't affix little stickers to her artwork with the labels from the paint and brushes she used. The people she paints for don't want or need to know what she used. They want their paintings. Can you imagine if McDonald's put little lettuce, tomato and beef stickers on your burger telling you what brand they used to make your lunch?
Steve Jobs has always had a different apporach to things than Bill Gates. That's why you pay less for OS X, (and there's only ONE version of it) than you do for Windows (which has anywhere from five to seven different builds). OS X doesn't require a product key and have a strictly enforced limit of five installs per disc, including reinstalls on the same system. And you can loan your OS X disc to a friend without having to call Apple for permission to install it first. I prefer OS X to Windows. I prefer iWork to Office. I prefer Photoshop to Paint or Corel Draw. But I'm not going to proclaim it to people who don't care. Here is about the only place I'll even mention it, unless someone brings it up in conversation.

  • Why doesn't Adobe have 3d modeling program?

    It seems silly to me why I have to use other programs like Blender to design complex 3d models to import into Adobe Director? Adobe is the most well known and established software companies ever, and they can't make a simple program to design complex 3d models? Am I missing something?

    I completely forgot Dimensions was a thing (for a good reason.)
    Still, it seems a bit short-sighted for adobe to just punt on the 3D graphics front, especially considering... overwhelming industry trend everywhere?
    It would be a good plan for adobe to loot a company that produces 3D software and make it part of the Creative Cloud. That would take a bite out of companies like Autodesk (and by extension, competing software and services like Sketchbook; vendor lock-in). It woulden't be overly difficult to sway the favor of developers with limited resources that are trying to justify the expense of licensing Adobe and Autodesk software. Adobe would win that standoff. Maybe they're just bitter about WebGL?

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • Why doesn't Adobe market an ereader device that supports PDF?

    Why do I have to have my books converted to epub format, when customers would just as soon read pdfs, which would be much easier for me to create? I'm told it's because Kindle and the rest of the players aren't supporting pdf. So why doesn't Adobe support it and market it as an ereader platform? They could make money with ereader devices and marketing channels that do support pdf. Adobe's response was to bring out their ereader software, but there are too many of those platforms already. PDF on the other hand has the biggest customer base in the world. Is Adobe missing out here, being focused too exclusively on software and not aware of the kind of opening Amazon jumped on? Kindle has come from nowhere to dominate the market. Adobe could have a good share by marketing a pdf reader. Granted PDF doesn't wrap lines, but if you make the pages small, to fit in an ereader window, there are a lot of advantages to having page numbers too.

    I'm also waiting for this feature.

  • Why doesn't PS have auto-recover?

    This is probably the one thing about PS that bugs the crap out of me. If Photoshop crashes while you are working something, it is lost forever. I was working on a digital painting a couple of days ago, and I went to save it, and PS crashed.
    Every other program (Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.) has an auto-save/auto-recover feature. Why doesn't PS have one? It seems silly for it not to.

    This has been discussed in several other threads, so do a search. As far as I'm concerned any such request doesn't make sense given how PS currently works and how the file format is structured. There's simply no realistic and safe way to save potentially large files in a few (micro-)seconds before a crash nor would that work as an auto-backup. Too many external factors and constant disk activity would have other negative side-effects... If you get my meaning: It's one thing to save a few kilobytes from a Word document in a few blips, but a totally different one shuffling around gigabytes.

    Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • Why doesn't Apple have a insurance program to cover stolen devices

    Why doesn't Apple have a insurance program to cover stolen devices?
    As a apple customer I feel that is very important that we are  offered some type of insurance plan to cover our devices if it is stolen besides the AppleCare which is offered that only cover software issues. We as consumers spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on our devices and if it is stolen we are not compensated for it at all which I think is totally unfair. We the consumer put our lives and in some cases our life savings into our devices and this should be taking into consideration By implementing a  insurance plan which allows consumers to choose the type of coverage plans allows the customer to feel more secure with there purchase.

    Well...   Usually the deductible is high enough to make it barely worth the claim.  Once you claim you may also find your insurance rates go up for several years.  The rule of thumb is don't claim unless you're talking at least $1000.  In that regard it could be useful if somebody offered separate insurance, though I suspect one might wonder why one was paying $50 or whatever per year for insurance on a single item versus just paying a bit more for a lower deductible on the homeowner's that would cover a host of items.
    Qbangz:  I have almost always had renter's insurance or the equivalent, even when I stayed in a dorm at college.  If somebody decides not to have it then that's a personal choice, but it is available.

  • Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Unless Apple decides to incorporate it with the iPhone and other iOS devices, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone API's for security and other reasons which Google is clueless about with Android. The most insecure mobile operating system by far.
    Apple plans to incorporate some of that under iOS 8.

    You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

  • Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
    As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.
