Nom : Moof! badge
Official Moof badge, distribute by Apple to Macintosh developpers in the Debugging Lab during WWDC'88.
This badge was also wore by John Sculley (CEO) during his keynote.
Standard version has a green background (inspired by Moutain Dew bottle color) but some has been realeased for Japan with red background.
This button badge is insteresting because Clarus looks at right (standard representations looks at left) and she's not pixelized, the graphics has been smoothed.
Note : you can inspect a very detailedl picture made by TidBits on 2002 to test the ProScope camera.
