Apple had just changed from the rainbow logo to the flat red logo, I thought it was kinda boring so I decided to snazz it up a bit. I was using Macromedia Director (I don't think Powerpoint was released yet) and it had all the cool animation gadetry, so I decided to make the Apple logo spin around once, at the opening and closing slides. After the presentation, one of the VPs came up to me and excitedly asked, "HOW did you make that logo spin like that?!?" I said I just took the logo's outline, did a few inbetweens in Illustrator 88, filled in the color in PixelPaint, imported the frames into Director, and sequenced them. He said "That's amazing. Now DON'T EVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN. You do NOT mess with the LOGO!" Ha.. reminds me of a presentation I gave to some Apple VPs in Los Angeles about 20 years ago.

I saw Don at JavaOne a few years ago and he literally had people rolling on the floor - he puts on a great show.
