That combination Apple-Google logogram is scary! It’s like an image from some corporate future dystopian sci-fi.
Many years ago I was at a black market in Beijing filled with every possible fashion counterfeit, and I found one black leather belt that had both Gucci and Calvin Klein logos on it.
It similarly seemed natural for a second ("even more fashion, right") until my brain did a double-take.

Also, the Apple logo is first. I wonder how this was decided?
Not because I like that logo better but because it is smaller. Since English reads left to right, if the short thing comes after the long thing, it looks lopsided.
Also, since the Google logo is larger, it is going to be more prominent no matter what, so putting the Apple logo first balances that out a bit. Seems fair to me.
This. It would look weird if the order were the other way around.
Someone probably said — “how about this?” and scribbled something. May have even been a Googler.
Then everyone else just said “sure”.
At least, that’s how I’d like to think it went.
