Silicon Graphics is my favorite logo from this era, but Sun is solid. I have great memories of being assigned my very own Ultra 2 desktop with Creator3D graphics on the first day of my first tech job.


> Silicon Graphics is my favorite logo from this era...

Agreed. The 3D-pipe cube was beautiful. I believe they changed this logo to a simple "sgi" one by year 2000.

tbh, if the company still existed today, with the 3d-pipe logo, I would still class it my favourite logo. :-)

I really wanted one of their machines back in the day.. being a teenager. Of course, you need to money for one. How times changed when 3d cards came along, giving us SGI-powered-like machines for a fraction of the price.


My favorite logos of computer companies of that era:

1. NeXT Computer

2. Sun Microsystems

3. Silicon Graphics (SGI) - the silver metallic one

4. Digital (DEC)

5. Norsk Data (with all those cute dots)

6. HP maybe ?

Not sure about the rest.

Any thoughts on other great logos of the era?


As said above, Nintendo 64


Great logo. It's my new number 4.


SGI had the best computers back then in my opinion. They were ahead of their time.
