i can't really place my finger on it but the two "swirly" things looks very familiar

def flashier than the k7 logos but can't really say it looks better

I don't really like it al all. I really think the swirly things are usless.

A couple of billion dollars in annual sales and they can't come up with better graphic design than that?

I still liked calling them clawhammers better.

Aren't those swirly things from the Whirlpool logo?

I've gotta put this chip in my washing machine!

Yeah, they probably paid a few million to come up with it too...

You should have read the www.theregister.co.uk article about the new Kyocera/Minolta merger/logo

Man that 64 is big too. As if 95% of the people out there give a rat's ass what the "64" stands for anyway.

Good point.

They just want to know how many jiggahertz it is.

good marketing could convince them that it has twice as many bits and peices as a pentium so a real man buys athlon 64s

lol. have you ever seen an amd add on tv? I sure haven't

Now they stopped advertising p4's because the 3.2 ghz it is the last p4. (or so rumor has it)

ugly. those swirly things are just disturbing. Makes it hard to read. I just wanted to keep my eyes from it. And they looked slightly familiar. If you remove 64 from it, it forms a mirrored S.

I think symbolically it looks like the 64 is being flushed down a toilet.

You are all wrong, it is supposed to symbolize a galaxy with 64-Bits at the center of it.

I think they might have been going for a confusion-based tactic with the swirls...Intel has theirs...

I personally think that it is very good. The swirls are simply stylistic elements. I would be proud for one of my computers to bear that sticker.

My next "major" system will bear that sticker. Well, at least that sticker will be on the box the CPU comes in. But I still find it to be fairly uncreative.

My new comp will have it too...proudly at that!

And it definitely will not be putting out 100w...........
