Firewire
Back in 1995, a small group at Apple-the main developer of FireWire-set about designing a symbol that could accurately reflect the new technology they were working on.
早在1995年，在Apple內的一個小團隊，也就是FireWire的主要開發者們，準備設計一個能準確反應他們正在開發的新技術的符號。
Originally intended as serial alternative to SCSI, FireWire's main allure was that it promised high-speed connectivity for digital audio and video equipment. So designers opted for a symbol with three prongs, representing video, audio and data.
原本打算替代串連的SCSI，FireWire的主要魅力是在他所承諾提供給數位音訊與影像設備的高速連線。因此，設計師選擇了一個有三個插腳的符號，代表影像、音訊與資料。
Initially, the symbol was red, but was later altered to yellow for unknown reasons.
最初，這個符號是紅色的，但是後來由於不明的原因被改為黃色。
