I've (and others) said it before, no matter what logo their use :-

AMIGA NEED A CONSISTENT LOGO AND FONT THROUGHOUT THEIR
PRODUCT RANGE AND BEYOND!

Look at Amiga's home-page, there are 4 types of boing ball, all slightly different.
It's sloppy.

People need to feel comfortable in a brand name.
Like Windows and Apple, though they have changed over the years,
people can identify with a product's image like XP and Mac OS X

Even Linux which is an open source / free system can have a standard image
in the form of the "Tux" penguin.

That's what Amiga at some point will have to do.
Standardise the Amiga look, if they are to be taken seriously.

Personally, I would choose the boing ball from the 'Amiga OS' section and the font
from the 'Amiga Anywhere' section.They are more modern.
(I'd get rid of the silly red dot above the ' i ', though.)
You can have different logo variations, just base them on the same boing ball image!

@ Herewegoagain

I've seen your backdrops before, and I like them, but I really do hate that "AMIGA" font.
I believe Escom were responsible for that and they paid a huge amount of money for it's design if I remember rightly.
In my view, it's dated terribly.
And the red dot above the ' i ', I though was to link it to the Escom company which
is now irrelevant.
And it doesn't work in black and white.
However (like my post before) if they adapted this font throughout the product range then I'd buy it.
I'd still call it dull, but I'd buy it.
