==Design legacy==
The LocalTalk connector had the distinction of being the first to use Apple's unified [[AppleTalk#Physical_implementation|AppleTalk Connector Family]] design, created by [[Brad Bissell]] of [[Frog Design]] using [[Rick Meadows]]' [[Apple Icon Family]] designs.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}<!-- Unable to find evidence of either term via Google, and Frogdesign no longer appears to list Apple as a client... --> LocalTalk connectors were first released in January 1985 to connect the [[LaserWriter]] printer initially with the [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]] family of computers as an integral part of the newly announced [[Macintosh Office]]. However, well past the move to Ethernet, the connector's design continued to be used on all of Apple's peripherals and cable connectors as well as influencing the connectors used throughout the industry as a whole.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}
