SGI, the company that had the greatest logo ever, is definitely on its last legs:
Silicon Graphics, the incredible shrinking workstation maker, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to news wires. In court papers filed today, SGI said it had been “challenged by delays in introducing new technology, a focus on more specialised markets and more intense competition from larger rivals”, Reuters reports.
Sad stuff indeed. I’ve long been a massive fan of Silicon Graphics kit, be a real shame to see them just disappear :( I reckon it’s all because of the rebranding. If they’d kept the name and logo….
they should have contacted me over the logo! i pit the fools, all it nedeed was a lovely brown drop shadow, and lots of yellow photoshop glow effect, and maybe a big fat chrome bevel on the logotext.
