Because no licence was aquired for the checkmark logo in the settlement agreement.

I love the amiga.org logo.
It gathers the Amiga logo history nicely.

Why not ask if the manufacturer can make them.

Always loved the checkmark logo. It would need to be redrawn a bit to look more modern but I always thought the boing ball was very childish in comparison.

I'm sure amigkit will be around to chirp in on this thread soon enough ..besides Rigo stated the reason no vendor has them anyway

@djrikki

many have said a beach ball with squares on it looks 'lame' as well

In the meanwhile I'm used to the boing - it is the official trademark since OS3.5. The checkmark reminds me more of my classic 68k Amigas (the hardware...).

The checkmark reminds me of Commodore too much, the boing ball was obviously chosen at the time to disassociate the brand from the past.

Contact Amigakit and ask them if they will ask the manufacturer if it can be done.
