Amiga boing logo is -cool or not- ?

[Herewegoagain]

I always liked the coloured tick too

Me too.  I always thought it was far better than the boing ball.  That's why I did this wallpaper:

 

Actually it's a whole set for the OS4 contest.  I did it in 5 colors (added a 6th one after the submission).  
If anyone likes them, it can be downloaded here.  And the 6th color (grape) from here.  Sorry to go OT, but at least it's about the logo.   :-D

Ohhh!! I love it!

Gee that looks great mate. Did you send those in to AI ? I recon they would be really impressed!

Yeah, I did.  I sent them into the contest submission.  I did one other set but it is more conservative and uses the Amiga "text" with the red box dotting the i.  I didn't use the boing or check on that one.  It's kind of simple:



Also done in 5 color sets, you can preview them all here, and download them here.

I always liked the Amiga text with the red box "i".  It's kinda unique, and as someone else said, it's almost more marketable than either of their more famous logo's (tick mark or boing ball).

I just always felt like the tick mark (check) gave the feeling of "approval" or a good product.

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.

I was trying to remember which "Amiga" was responsible for that particular text logo.  The one I hated the most was the one that streched out like a bat's wings.  That one was aweful.

@Herewegoagain
The Silver like pictured above looks really proffesional.

Did you get a reply? or even a response? It's very good work!

Thanks, glad you liked it.  I didn't get a reply (and will not) because they will eventually create a poll to vote, and the top 20 choices are suppose to go into the contributions folder of the OS4 CD.  That would be cool enough for me if one of mine gets selected.

As for the Escom association, I'm pretty sure the name AMIGA came from another company too so I don't see the font or word to be a problem there

Right, it is not the word "Amiga" that was in question, but rather the style of the one with the red square over the "i".  I always took that red square to be a single square from  the Boing Ball.  But maybe it was an association to Escom... I don't recall what Escom's logo looked like.

Update:  All of the Amiga logos (text wise) can be seen
on this page.  Escom's logo is near the top, but at the bottom of the page it has all of the "Amiga" text incarnations from over the years.
