Correction.  That's Apple //c and Apple IIGS if one is
going to nit-pick about the characters on the case.
Apple IIGS used Apple Garamond.  Apple IIc Plus
also used Apple Garamond.

Apple ][
Apple ][ Plus
Apple //e
Apple //c
Apple IIGS
Apple IIc Plus
Apple IIe (platinum)

Personally, I think ][ looked ugly.  // was so-so.  It
was the roman numeral II used in the IIGS, IIc Plus,
and platinum IIe that was truly dignified.
