The butterfly is a nice logo but hardly unique, I know at least half a dozen companies that have a butterfly logo.  The boing ball definitely is unique.  I'm probably biased as an 'old school' Ami user though, I would agree it doesn't mean much to non amigans.  The checkmark btw is probably more 'gay' than the boing ball, specially with the rainbow colours in it. :-)

@Takemehomegrandma

United we stand?
Wouldn't "Zusammen Wir stehen" be more suitable, considering the number of native german speakers vs. the number of native english speakers? :-D

@ whabang

No, "Förenade vi stå", because we Swedes are slowly but steadily coming closer and closer to the EU, infiltrating it, and soon we will rule the Europe and Swedish will be the only language tolerated, muahahahaa ... :-D

Nah, you European people have nothing to fear, the Swedes are very found of isolating themselves, they believe in "the power of borders". If it was economically possible for Sweden to build a Chinese Wall all around the countries boarder, I'm sure it would be done. And then we would start at least 1000 new "central" banks, no wait, one unique central bank and one unique currency **for everey citizen**, because we Swedes don't like when Bruxells "kommer här och bestämmer över oss"! And ... (nah, enough of this Off Topic babbeling ;-))

 And which logo you saw also depended on in which part of the world you lived in. Have you seen the "Amiga" text on the boxes of the A500's Redrumloa sold? Not much semi-serif there ...


Those A500s were pre-semiserif era, the semiserif was commissioned by Escom.  If you want a design that 99.999% of all Amiga users recognise then go for the embossed Italic "Amiga" that was stamped on every model ever made.

Nah it's just rocket propelled :-D

Whenever I've seen the word "gay" used on the 'net in this context, it's usually been spelled "ghey"...
Obviously not an official spelling, but a good way to differentiate between the two versions of the word.

Regarding logos:
IMO, a logo needs to fulfill several criteria...
1) Easily recognisable with minimal "give away" - the "Amiga" (red-dot-over-the-i) doesn't work too well here.
2) Works when used on different types of media - TV, print, packaging, etc. i.e. at different resolutions/sizes, and potentially colour and b/w.
3) Can be used to do something! A cool logo is one that reaches out to people; catches their attention. If it can be animated, then it's a good 'un! (Saying this, however, doesn't vindicate the Windows logo...!)
4) Ideally the logo should relate to the product or company. Not too sure how this would work for the Amiga, unless the logo is a heart, perhaps boing patterned ! :)

FWIW, my vote goes to the Check Mark, and then the Boing ball.
The Check has so many advertising possibilities that are just crying out for exploitation...
"Powerful processor... check
High-definition multimedia graphics... check
True pre-emptive multitasking... check
Slick, small operating system... check
...
All checks are complete - we are ready to go!"
etc.  :-D

/back to work... :)

Ist jeder mit einem anderen oppinion als Fleecy oder sich automatisch ein troll? Meiner Meinung nach mißbraucht Kronos nicht Leute und herauf Mühe sich zu rühren, ist er gerades Unterstreichen *seine Ansichten* wenn die Leute erklären *ihre Ansichten*.

"Is everyone automatic with another oppinion than Fleecy or itself troll?  According to my opinion Kronos abuses not people and trouble to agitate up, is it straight underlining * its opinions * if the people explains * its opinions *."
You said what?!?!? :lol:
