The amiga ball beats the heck out of the microsoft symbol.
The ball is the way of the future.

One thing about the Amiga I wish WOULD die is that stupid checkered ball. Come on guys, this is the lamest logo ever.
Sure it was cool in the early 90s when 3d was the new thing, but today it's almost embarrassing to see an Amiga logo with that stupid ball in it.. seems you can't find a single Amiga backdrop or logo without that ridiculous ball.
I'm am thankful that the AROS guys had enough sense to come up with something new. While I think an animal for a logo is sort of dated also (playing on the Linux penguin) it's better than a plain old checker boarded ball.
I feel sick everytime I look at it. It's like looking back at photos of myself in the 80s in a fluorescent shirt with fat boy laces on my checkered vans.
I can't believe one little bouncing ball demo became the entire marketing directive for the whole product line. How sad! This is the sort of marketing that let C= sink in the first place and we are carrying on the tradition!
