"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:

@ whabang

Well, it hardly gets any "better" when you use the Babelfish output as input for another round, hehe. Like faxing a text document a hundred times! Take it around a couple of more times:

Quote
Ist jeder mit ein anderes oppinion als Fleecy oder selbst troll automatisch? Entsprechend meiner Meinung mißbraucht Kronos nicht Leute und oben aufzuregen die Mühe, ist es gerade unterstreichend * seine Meinungen * wenn die Leute erklären * seine Meinungen *.

Is everyone also another oppinion than Fleecy or even troll automatic? According to my opinion Kronos abuses not people and to excite above the trouble, is straight underlining it * its opinions * if the people explains * its opinions *.

Ist jeder auch ein anderes oppinion als Fleecy oder sogar das automatische troll? Entsprechend meiner Meinung mißbraucht Kronos nicht Leute und über der Mühe aufzuregen, ist gerade, sie unterstreichend * seine Meinungen * wenn die Leute * seine Meinungen *. erklären

Is everyone also another oppinion than Fleecy or even the automatic troll? According to my opinion Kronos abuses not people and over the trouble to excite, is straight, it underlining * its opinions * if the people * its opinions *. explains

Ist jeder auch ein anderes oppinion als Fleecy oder sogar das automatische troll? Entsprechend meiner Meinung mißbraucht Kronos nicht Leute und Überschuß die aufzuregen Mühe, ist gerade, es unterstreichend * seine Meinungen * wenn die Leute * seine Meinungen *. erklären


... and the final result:

Is everyone also another oppinion than Fleecy or even the automatic troll? According to my opinion Kronos abuses not people and surplus to excite the trouble, is straight, it underlining * its opinions * if the people * its opinions *. explains

Voilà!
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

The original post was actually somewhat readable. I don't know why I complained... :-D

Its a great logo. Ball symbolizes unity (earth) and rectangulars symbolize the chess you need to play in order to use your amiga :-)

@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.

@DonnyEMU

This thread is no way related to anyone's sexual orientation.  The use of the word gay in this case has some different meaning, just as gay orginally meant "happy" and was then also used to mean Homosexuality.  It's just a quirk of english language in a certain part of the world.

It's not like those idiots who tried to make out that Teletubbies promoted homosexuality.

Blimey.  Perhaps you should read the rest of the thread before deciding the guy deserved being flamed again?

- edited in light of DonnyEMU removing his comments -

Thank you.

@ everyone

No more flaming whoever made the unfortunate comment in the first place.  The guy has apologised for it already, and did not mean anything offensive by it.

Wasn't the tick a symbol for Workbench rather than Amiga?  I like the boing very much. A logo must be unique and I would almost go as far as to say that someone seeing the boing logo for the first time would intuitively know that it represented Amiga.  Boing is definitely cool!

the people who think a butterfly is unique and a better option , grow up ..or just do some research.

allready there is a os called "ALMOST THE SAME" , thats one ..

several software companies have had butterflies as a logo since the early 80's , so basically the main consumers will get confused of it if they have some sort of knowledge about excisting game companies and the almost named simmilar OS.

beyond that.. MOS the nickname of morphos means "GAY" .

oh and infact there is also a hw producing company who has a blue butterfly and its identical to mos butterfly! ..

i am guessing this...if it ever gets popular outside the community , some lawsuits are bound to happen.

just my op. anyway and last i checked this is the place to put out your opinions.

Whats up with all the hate!
