who drawn the amiga kikstart disk on 1.x?
Hello,
I was wondering who drawn the image shown by Amiga OS 1.x on start-up, asking the user to insert the kickstart disk ? If somebody knew this or got a link on informations about the creators of early amiga icons wb would be interesting ! |

Probably R. J. Mical or Dale Luck.
After searching a bit more... The hidden credits on the title bar say: Quote:

My guesses:
Sheryl A Knowles Jack Halyer Why? They are the only 2 names that match the "Sheryl&Jack" above and signed the inside of the Amiga 1000 case. ??? desiv |

I tracked down Sheryl and asked her.
She is the artist behind the kickstart hand, and some other icons. :-) |

Cheers to Jope!
But why did chocolate_boy reference a deep link? Is he into paper dolls? Her homepage is more interesting imho. http://www.icynic.com/~knowles/ |

I actually did thank her for her part of the magic we all got to experience. :-D
She also mentioned that GraphiCraft ui design was her handiwork. |

I put this together now.. It's 32 colors exact, so it should even do on Amigas! At least if you mix together a nice palette. Last edited by 8bitbubsy; 20 April 2010 at 14:38. |

The ironic thing is you look at that picture using a Left Hand to put the disk in.... try it, its virtually impossible, everyone uses their right hand to insert on A500 onwards

And you are right, i'm a lefty myself and do everything with my left hand. The A500 educated me to use my right hand to put floppies inside a drive, that lasted even to this day! I think Jope does a clear demonstration on how to handle a floppy properly! Last edited by AmigaFriend; 20 April 2010 at 16:07. Reason: typos |
