What commodore / amiga logo do you like best?
« on: February 04, 2011, 04:29:39 PM »
A bit of a pointless thread for the weekend guys :)

What commodore or amiga logo do you like best of the various ones over the years?

The Commodore "chicken" ?
Boing ball?
THe checkmark?
The slanted Amiga word?

Something else?

I am partial to the rainbow checkmark. I've thought of getting a couple tshirts made with that on the front, and "only amiga makes it possible" on the back, to wear on casual days at work :)

This one:



Which was actually used in advertisements, brochures and Amiga promotional material in the late 1980s.

Mine's is the original VIC 20 one, mainly because this is where it all started for me almost 30 years ago... :)



(Sorry bout the quality but the box is nearly 30 years old... :))

Pretty much all of the initial list except the boing-ball. Don't get me wrong, the actual boing-ball demo is kinda neat and must have been amazing at the time, but I just never liked it as a logo at all.

I always liked Amiga Technologies' logo, particularly the angled red dot above the i in Amiga.

The italicized AMIGA found on the A500 and A1200 is a close second :)

Franko,
 
I had a vic 20 briefly in my youth but I threw it in the trash when I got a c64. Useless piece of shit if you asked me then (or now)
 
except for text games, I never did anything with it.
 
Maybe CUSA is going to make a new vic-20. It will be a 486 running damn small linux and will be a bit more useful than the original vic-20.
They will spend 10 million of their 30 million dollar advertising budget on it so it will sell 4 units instead of their previous record of 1 computer sold.
 
 
:laughing:
 
My favorite amiga logo is the angular plain one that ral clan just posted... No check marks, no boing balls, just the word is enough when its written so artistically.
 
Steven

AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie
