OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Applications
David's Doodles
Andrew Stephenson:
I am still getting organised -- new machine, new AOS-5.1 copy &c -- so could have missed an existing set of the icons I have in mind, but how about some representing operating systems back to CP/M?
CP/M : interlocking chiselled-stone gear wheels with a flint axe leaning against them.
DOS : an ox cart loaded with jumbled letters & digits, towed by bullocks.
UNIX : stacked USian phone books (inc. a C manual) topped by an old button-dialler phone (courteous AT&T reference).
Linux : not sure -- try a parody of UNIX, a heap of paperwork with varied designs of phone & computer having a slightly homebrew look.
OS/2 : (proving we can take jokes as well as dish 'em out) old OS/2 logo backed by a radiant rising sun.
Windows -- abandoned versions : a garish multicoloured Windows logo, one numbered pane broken.
Windows -- current : blue (?) Windows logo fronted by a cowpat/cowflop with a version number on it. (Okay, getting a wee bit political there...)
eCS : the basic eComStation logo.
AOS : today's logo, possibly without version number.
Other OSes (Mac, Beos, &c) : have fun being inventive.

Hi Andrew
Some of what you desire can be found on line. I do not really have any interest in this. What little I do is to add a little variety to ArcaOS. I am no expert designer and am self taught. I takes time which I would prefer using on the operating system IZ use.

The eCS logos can be found on line.

ArcaOS backgrounds come with the system.

Hi, David. Thanks for gracing my bout of silliness with a serious reply. :) Following your URLs, one sees the subject has indeed been well kicked about, perhaps more than it merits. The only logos I ever improvised for my eCS system were simple things, like a WordStar one which I probably must enlarge when my AOS system is working; but at least we're only talking about a star on a plain b/g. Simple is good with logos, methinks.
Thrive.
