Amiga Identity: The Boing Ball vs. Rainbow Check Mark
« on: April 23, 2008, 05:43:29 PM »
Amiga uses the Rainbow checkmark and the Boing Ball as its corporate identity logo. I like the checkered Boing Ball because it represents movement in the computer industry.
While others like a bitten apple, sitting penguin (homer simpson like), and a wispy window blanket remains static.

While the rainbow checkmark represented the color technology of the past Amiga, many computer companies (except Microsoft) are abandoning multiple colors (Apple is using single color logos). Even A-Inc is only using Boing Ball. The rainbow check looks nice on the Winuae icon.

Other Amiga-like spinoffs are using Butterflies and a Sexy Cat. Isn't it weird that Amiga logos are very unusual, yet interesting. Does this reflect the community as well?

Which do you like?
Rainbow Check or Boing Ball
and why?
WinUAE enthusiast.

Curious about: Amiga OS, Morph OS, X-Amiga, Amikit, Amiga Forever, WinUAE, Efika, Minimig,
and other forms Amiga-like Computers.
