Got to be the tick for me.

killergorilla 17 March 2007 01:23

Some people come up to me and say "man that boing ball is awesome"

I say "bullshit!"

Marcuz 17 March 2007 01:45

what's the tick? the "v" like rainbow thing? i prefer the boingball. there is a demo that under workbench 1.3 produced boinging balls on the screen that made a sproing sound... :)

Spoon!


















.......Waddya mean that's a different tick?

VermillioN 17 March 2007 02:45

Never was a fan of the boing-ball.. it's fugly

StarEye 17 March 2007 10:35

The boing ball reminds me too much of the "new" amiga, while the tick has the correct nostalgic feel to it. I prefer the tick.

ppill 17 March 2007 10:56

What do I see when I power on my two Amigas? Not a single boingball in sight ;)

BippyM 17 March 2007 11:05

tick for me too... i don't remember the a500 manuals i had having boing balls on the cover;)

Graham Humphrey 17 March 2007 12:20

Boing Ball? Boring Ball more like.

I have always prefered the Tick, while the Boing Ball to me has always been a little bit silly looking. I know its based on an early Amiga Demo, but to use it as an Amiga symbol.. eerrrgh.

musashi5150 17 March 2007 12:42

Yup, when I got my tattoo I chose the tick over the boing ball :)

DamienD 17 March 2007 12:43

Tick for me as well ;)

StingRay 17 March 2007 12:47

No question, tick! :) Boing ball looks incredibly silly!

I don't remember seeing the boing ball on any official stuff back in the day, just the demo to show off the Amiga. I rermember the tick!

Marcuz 17 March 2007 13:09

i guess the boing ball was a testimonial kind of sign, while the tick was the logo: the latter says that amiga was (also) based on great graphic and extended palette, starting from is colourful, at the time, OS; the former says that the machine was capable of static and animated fake 3d (as in the demos and othe stuff) and real 3d (ray tracing). this i think at least.

Remember that the Atari ST had a boing demo too - so it's not exactly as Amiga specific as the tick logo. :)
