Though I came up in the C= rainbow double check-mark days, I think if you could point to the single most recognizable image with which the Amiga is associated, it would be the Boing ball demo.  I remember everyone and his aunt's uncle trotting out their own Boing ball demo to prove their machine was as powerful, ignoring the fact that all their machines could do was JUST the demo (and of the competition, only the Apple II GS could do it in stereo), while the Amiga could do two or three other things at the same time.  The demo was even a part of the TV ads!  The Boing ball is the best Amiga logo.  If there's something AInc got right, it was sticking with it and using it in conjunction with the best thing to come out of the Escom era, the Amiga "red box" logo.  If only the company or the outlook for real advancement in the Amiga world could look so good!

Amiga.  Wish the world could have known.
