Reminded me that Apple had a trademark suit against Woolworths (Woolies) in Australia a few years ago for using a 'fresh fruit' logo that looked a bit like an Apple.
My takeaway from this is that trademark lawyers do their thing because they have to be seen to be protecting their trademarks, and I'm patently sick of the whole Apple legal patent/copyright stories that I'm just going to filter them from now on.

I think it's supposed to be an abstract fruit, nothing specific. It isn't really apple-shaped, just perfect circle.
And green color is commonly associated with being fresh.

Lawyers be being lawyers.
