Retro Logos From the Early Days of Computing

Last week, we showed you the biggest exhibitions we saw at the Vintage Computer Festival East 2009. Still, we also became mildly obsessed with all the logos we saw on those retro PCs. So, we asked our photographer, Matthew McMullen Smith, to shoot some close-ups of as many retro logos (and vintage fonts) as he could find on the various restored computers that were on display.
If you're a retro PC or design enthusiast, or are just feeling nostalgic, then take a look at these bygone beauties -- from the '60s to the early '80s.

You mention you didn't know where the "Comptuer Lib" logo was from....
It is a book by Theodore Nelson.... Computer Lib and Dream Machines (flip the book for both versions).

Actually a lot of fun... and Ted Nelson is a very intersting person who thought a lot about issues related to what the web became in reality. :-)
