Apple’s legendary Clarus the dogcow returns in macOS Ventura
Forget Stage Manager, forget Live Captions — from now on macOS Ventura will be famous for bringing back Clarus the Dogcow to its rightful place.
The dogcow is not Susan Kare‘s finest hour, except that possibly it is. For across the thousands of superb designs Kare has made for Mac, Windows and more, there was a Cairo dingbats font, with Clarus.Called a dogcow because it’s so poorly drawn that it’s impossible to tell whether it is meant to be a cow or a dog, this one symbol rose above its origins. You do have to have been a Mac user for a very, very long time for it to mean anything to you at all.
