Update: Apple asked us to remove the posters.
As part of Apple’s campaign to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Mac, it released ‘Apple 30’ themed posters cleverly composed with the names of every Apple employee, corporate and retail alike. While the physical posters are located on Apple’s campus, the company decided to release digital versions on their internal system so current employees could locate their names amid the vast sea of alphabet.
While current employees can access the digital versions on Apple’s internal system and locate their name based on their employee ID number, former employees have not been granted that opportunity (and a trek to Apple campus in Cupertino doesn’t come cheap). That’s until now. A friendly, former employee gained access to the digital files and shared what he found with us below…
The series of names begins with Steven Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the company’s two founders of course, and continues with every Apple employee, past and present, including yours truly (seen above) and anyone else you could imagine.
While Apple’s internal system allows employees to locate their name by employee ID number, these images of course do not. That’s nothing a little OCR magic can’t stop though.
A promise to everyone. Kept by every one of us.
On January 24, 1984, we made a promise to take the power of technology from the few and put it in the hands of the many. This series of ten posters recognizes all those who have helped turn that promise into reality. In other words, every single person who has ever worked at Apple.
Check out each poster below and begin the hunt for your name if you’re a former employee! Enjoy.
See update above. Bye posters. [Removed]

Ah… I love Apple .
Hi Sean,
As a former Apple employee in The Netherlands I am extremely interested in the Apple anniversary posters.
I you were in any way involved in placing these posters on the internet, could you please send me these.
Superthanks,

Hi Sean,
As a former Apple employee in The Netherlands I am also extremely interested in the 10 Apple Anniversary posters.
IF you have them, would you be so very kind to send to me by WeTransfer ?
I would be very thankful.
Hope to hear from you
Friendly regards

Uh… maybe I’m being thick here, but how do I see the full resolution images? If I click on the slideshow I see a small thumbnail.
Which OCR software did you use Zac?
How are you suppose to hunt for the name? These are all gifs :/
Each file includes a link to the full sized image. An app like PDFpen can OCR the document making the text searchable.
Does PDFpen require full version or will the demo take care of it? Mine keeps erroring out.
Hey thanks for the heads up but all the OCR programs I tried so far are crashing on me. No luck :( Any ideas??
PDF Pen did NOT work for me. It just kept saying that it failed due to low resolution or another issue.
Damn. I really wish I had downloaded all of those posters before they disappeared…
Pleease, I’d like to find mine ghita.admin(at)gmail.com thank you soo muchh
Hai Rita,
Thanks for your reply, but does it mean you have the posters ?
IF so can you send them to me by WeTransfer ?
Any suggestion for finding one’s name? I’m in there somewhere.
The posters seem like they are by badge number.
Is the badge number same as file number as listed on your paycheck?
Where’s the High Res? These are too small to read. :(
D’OH! Nevermind. Usability issues – the full size thing is in the lower right hand corner of the preview.
if anyone has these images can you msg me? i have been trying for ages to see my name, my badge is 49042 i think that is on poster 3 or 4
maybe not 3 or 4 lol… I stand corrected lol it may be 2 or 1 lol I don’t know how the badge #’s are broken up
Figures that Apple would ask you to remove them. Former employee= we don’t want you having nice things anymore. Either way, if anyone wants them…I already have all 10 high res downloaded….
ME! :)

Hi rrobinson1216, I know it’s been a long time since these posts, but I am still struggling to find high res copies of the posters. I would really appreciate it if you could send them to me since all links are down. I found a girl who kindly sent me a couple of them but they were the low res versions.
My email is tomeurp(at)gmail.com.
Thanks a lot,
Tomeu
You Rock! Thanks!

Thank you so much and apologies for bothering you with this after 2 years but all links are down and I’m desperate to find the files.
Thanks again!!
Do you have a version as a searchable PDF? I converted GIFs to PDF and tried to OCR to no avail.
Down :( does anyone have another link?

Hi there,
I dont suppose you still have the apple 30th birthday posters do you? Me and my girlfriend both use to work for apple and I would love a high res copy of them to frame and put it. I would really appreciate this. Thanks efc918@gmail.com
Thanks Peter
Please please @rrobbinson1221 send to dandulATmedotcom
I don’t understand why they would want the posters removed. I’m a former Apple employee, and I don’t appreciate that I have to search for my name on crappy copies, or pictures that were taken from someone’s phone. What’s the big deal? Let us have the damn posters!
Dang, I wasn’t fast enough
Someone must’ve got a download of this to (re)share right?
For everyone still asking for the files. Read the comments. A link was posted.
Please email me a copy of the posters to nderekn at yahoo dot com. Thanks!
can you pleaaaassseee email me a copy of the of these to thatguyoverthereeee at gmail dot com????
If someone would, please email me a link where I can download the high res files of the posters. I can’t wait to see my name too! Such beautiful posters
caderageous @ gmail . com
the link is down! i’d love a copy of them please!! milleverwhat at gmail dot com thank you someone!! (I hope)!
I have finally mamaged to obtain the posters (thank Adam). If you want them just let me know (tomeurp@gmail.com – use APPLE POSTERS as the subject and this way it is less likely that I will miss it) and I’ll send them to you.
