Peter · 17 March 2007, 01:20

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...

Belgarath · 17 March 2007, 02:04

Spoon!

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

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.

blade002 · 17 March 2007, 12:30

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!

BippyM · 17 March 2007, 12:51

for those who are not sre

or

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.
