brandedlogodesigns review: Commodore's retro show shows PC legend


brandedlogodesigns review



Where the Commodore computer center was once the headquarters of the European Union, an exhibition commemorates the time of C64 & Co. The fact that the Americans chose Braunschweig for the billion-dollar business with the "breadboxes" had a very special reason.
The letters shine as if the company had never disappeared from the market. Newly installed spots radiate the Commodore logo at the huge hall also at night. It is the original lettering that once decorated the Europacentrale of the PC pioneer in Braunschweig.For a look at the history of Commodore, the packaging service provider Streiff & Helmold has had the letters reassembled to the outside wall of his company center. Once the company delivered the packaging for the entire European Commodore market. Braunschweig was however from 1980 to 1993 the also the main production site of Commodore in Europe with up to 2,000 employees. After the failure of the manufacturer, the company took over the site of the European headquarters of the computer-builder in 1996.In the former Commodore canteen, senior chief Helmut Streiff recalls the great time of the Commodore personal computer, which is closely linked to his own life. "This is the least we can do". Nostalgically Streiff looks back on the once-close partnership with the Commodore employees. Since October 1980, the European headquarters was in Braunschweig.
In showcases there are products that have revolutionized the market for home PCs. The Commodore 64, for example, which was sold millions of times worldwide - and the first home PC, which was also affordable for the normal consumer. Klobig and angular looks the device from today's point of view, just like a "bread box" just as the nickname of the device was. A limited edition special gold edition was launched for the one millionth C64 in Germany. One of the only 250 copies can now be admired in the permanent exhibition.
