Newer Apple IIs (like the IIe Platinum, IIC+, and IIgs) have the computer
name written on the case in 'Apple Garamond' font.  It's the same font they
use in many Apple owners manuals and publications to date.  If you can't
find Apple Garamond (I think it is (c) Apple Computer Co), you can use the
font called 'Garamond'.

For the older style Apple II fonts, a close match might be  Bauhaus 93.  It
has a definite 80s look to it and it is a pretty close match to the Apple ][
logo on the old Apple IIe System Master Disk.  It is roughly similar to the
Apple II written on older system cases also.


Good luck.

P.S.  The web page above has the Apple Logo written in Bauhaus, in case you
don't know what it looks like.  For Apple Garamond, see the Apple
logos/writing on the Apple Web site.
