Title: Giant Boing Ball sticker
Post by: adz on February 16, 2004, 05:32:18 AM
Hi all

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up my A2000's case, so far I've sanded it back and I will be re-spraying it soon but I wanted to do something creative, I was thinking of sticking a giant boing ball on the top of it, anyone know where I can get a sticker like that or if they even exist? Thanks.

Take a look here (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=644=8)
But the images section seems to be temporarily not showing images


Please don't use a big boing ball!!!

The boing ball is ugly, and the bigger it is the uglier!!

:(

@iama

Any better ideas?? I was thinking about a giant tick. Don't really know what else I can use, maybe I could use the KS1.3 screen?

Indeed - dont use the boing ball!!!!

Grab a nice "check - tick" logo from a kick screen of a 2.04/ 3.0 / 3.1 kickstart :-)

Nice!

Boing? - puke-worthy.

 I say Go for the Boing Ball, those checkmarks really represent Workbench and Not the Amiga computer, it looks nice if you do it right.

How have you reached that conclusion?

@Kindred of Babble-on


 Well this way:  The WindowsXP logo represents the OS and not the PC itself......the PC might be a Gateway or a DELL

The CheckMark is best as the OS logo forthe Amiga.....and the BoingBall as the logo for the Amiga computer..................there used to be a time when the checkmark was a logo for the Computer itself, such as the A1000......but after that it was never used for an amiga again as far as some sticker on the hardware...........and personally this is the way I prefer it...I like a separation in logos between the OS and the Computer...........Macs have an Apple as their computer logo and a big X for their OS (or a smiling computer for their OS logo previously) and PC's Have the Windows Logo for their OS and what ever logo their Computer is.....................to me The Boing Ball represents the Computer....and the Tick or checkmark represent Workbench or Amiga's OS........funny I was discussing this verysame thing the other day with someone :-)

@Too much Caffeine (:lol:)

So that's your personal idea of what they stand for? That's cool, I just wondered if you had a historical reason for it.

I never really thought of Workbench having its own logo.

Forget boing balls. C= logo is your choice :-)

Yuck.

Why do you all like big logo's and stuff?


What's with you guys? Just get a sexy black case - no paint, no adhesieve labels, nice black keyboard and optical scroll mouse...

And of course a 21" Trinitron

That's the way to have a computer

Yeah, the C= logo is another option, or a giant "Commodore" across the top, bah, decisions decisions :-)

And make it look like an IBM or Dell, I think not. The big sticker is supposed to add a little color to an otherwise plain "professional" looking case... :lol: :whack:

@that_punk_guy

Hehe I just realized I misquoted your name by calling you Kindred of Babble-on and you did the same......hehe (you called me "Too Much Caffeine") those are our statuses here on Amiga.org.........I think I did it because I wasn't used copying and pasting names wich are highlighted such as they are now.

Also......I don't really think that The Logos had a historical background.........thats just my view on how it should be............although lately I have been liking the Boingball as the Logo for Workbench (OS4)but nevertheless, I think they should be separate as it would look more professional and wont confuse people.
