Quote:
The BBC's Blue Peter programme has honoured Apple's design chief Sir Jonathan Ive with its highest accolade - the gold Blue Peter badge.

The British executive helped create the iMac and iPhone and, in October, took responsibility for the look and feel of the firm's software user interfaces.

Joins Gold Badge alumni JK Rowling, David Tennant and (IIRC) Musical Youth.

An honour indeed. A friend of mine has a BP badge, but this one is a lot bigger!

That badge is almost white and I am sure Apple have trademarked White - so they will be sueing BP in due course for £100billion

They will issue the BBC a cease and desist order on further issues of gold BP badges. :lol:

See this video of Ive's reaction to the award and he gives something back.

Post Re: Jonathan Ive gets gold Blue Peter badge
it properly means more to Sir Ives then getting that Knighthood
anybody can get a Knighthood but not many get a gold BP badge

both are well earned and deserved ...
