A bit of a pointless thread for the weekend guys :)
What commodore or amiga logo do you like best of the various ones over the years?
The Commodore "chicken" ?
Boing ball?
THe checkmark?
The slanted Amiga word?
Something else?
I am partial to the rainbow checkmark. I've thought of getting a couple tshirts made with that on the front, and "only amiga makes it possible" on the back, to wear on casual days at work :)

This one:

Which was actually used in advertisements, brochures and Amiga promotional material in the late 1980s.

Mine's is the original VIC 20 one, mainly because this is where it all started for me almost 30 years ago... :)

(Sorry bout the quality but the box is nearly 30 years old... :))

Pretty much all of the initial list except the boing-ball. Don't get me wrong, the actual boing-ball demo is kinda neat and must have been amazing at the time, but I just never liked it as a logo at all.
-
Check mark.
-
I guess the :chicken: logo ;)
-
Chickenhead.

Hi,
Before Amiga computers, the chicken head,
Amiga computers --> The check mark
smerf

Check mark for me.

I always liked Amiga Technologies' logo, particularly the angled red dot above the i in Amiga.
The italicized AMIGA found on the A500 and A1200 is a close second :)

Checkmark

Franko,
I had a vic 20 briefly in my youth but I threw it in the trash when I got a c64. Useless piece of shit if you asked me then (or now)
except for text games, I never did anything with it.
Maybe CUSA is going to make a new vic-20. It will be a 486 running damn small linux and will be a bit more useful than the original vic-20.
They will spend 10 million of their 30 million dollar advertising budget on it so it will sell 4 units instead of their previous record of 1 computer sold.
:laughing:
My favorite amiga logo is the angular plain one that ral clan just posted... No check marks, no boing balls, just the word is enough when its written so artistically.

Yep, the The slanted Amiga word like on the A1200 combined with the checkmark :)
All the others are fake copies :roflmao:
-
Wow, I guess I'm in the minority 'cause I like the Boing Ball...:(
-
But of course the checkmark !

The rainbow checkmark as present on Amiga 1000 face

Looking back at it though when the VIC20 first came out in 81/82, it really was the start of true home computing. For a brief period all we had back then was the calculator like Z80/81 and when the VIC20 appeared with it's 8 colours & real full size keyboard it blew the socks off everyone... :)
It was a great wee machine, the first one I learned to write in "Machine Language" as it was called in them days. Too be honest I never did much on it either other than playing a few games (mainly text adventures) but it was the start of bigger things to come... :)
Just finished during the night restoring two of them to there former glory and have just received in the post 2 16K RAM packs I bought from evilBay for them... :)
I'd rather use these anyday than something CUSA has to sell... :)
-
Without a doubt the Checkmark.
-
I like this one a lot. All you have to do is change the Colonel to Jay Miner and you can't fail. You seriously can't say you can't see the resemblance :)

How does the Commodore logo look like a chicken? :confused:
-
The Checkmark
-
Checkmark, definitely.
-
I go for the slanted Amiga text from the a1000 era, with the boing ball second... in fact both together is even better. ;-)

Wow! You really have to head on over to Denial to get some of this delusional thinking cleansed.

The VIC-20 is an amazing machine and people are doing incredible things with it:

I would have to say the Chickenhead

In my part of the country you either had a VIC-20 or a ZX81. The choice was a no-brainer for me: real keyboard, good sound, colour! I also had the "Super Expander" cartridge for mine which gave it an extra 3KB of RAM, extra BASIC commands and "Hi Res graphics modes" (less said about them the better).
If nothing else, it taught you to make your code as small as possible and to reduce your text output to the screen to the bare minimum.
OUT OF MEMORY ERROR... oh, not again!
edit: Checkmark!
-
Another check for the check mark.
Diamond was a good one.
Hate the BB. :destroy:
-
Looks like overwhelmingly the checkmark, with a few votes for the "Amiga" as it appeared on the 500 and 1200.
Time to check out one of those custom tshirt places online me thinks :)

The rainbow check mark is the best. It's like the Apple , but better since its not related to Apple ;)
the C= logo looks stupid to me, and always has. Its like a queer looking postage stamp.
and the boingyball is neat, but it doesn't really do much for me.
-
The original polygonal boing ball, not the awful smooth one like in the amiga.org logo.
Hate the checkmark. It allegedly replaced the ball because marketing said that they needed a rainbow mark to make consumers associate Amiga with color.

Checmark
-
Checkmark definitely

I like the boing ball, but I'm partial to the checkmark.

Coming form the C64 to Amiga.
The C= logo meant more to me, the Amiga logo(s) I hardly noticed.
-
The checkmark.

Chechkmark and then the amiga Technologies logo With the tilted red square.
