I started as a Macintosh user with a 128K Mac in January 1985. 
The command key on the original Macintosh keyboard had only the 
cloverleaf symbol (which is pronounced 'command'). It was and is 
known to me only as the 'command' key. As far as I'm concerned, 
calling it the 'Apple' key is just wrong.  8^)

Then, it's not the only Apple keyboard that does not have an 
Apple logo at the top. IIRC, those original keyboards didn't 
have it, and the two or three year old bluetooth keyboard I'm 
typing on now doesn't have it. I'm pretty sure there have been 
others without it.
