EGA ELECTRONIC ARTS (LEGACY OF THE ANCIENTS)
CORD936
Does anyone know whether EGA Electronic Arts still exists. I used to play
Legacy of the Ancients by them on my C64 & 128 years ago, I have always
wanted a version to play on my 486. I have seen the Apple II version of
the game but never IBM, If anyone has this game or knows EGA's email
address or telephone number, I would like to hear from you at
Thanks a Zillion in advance

Electronic Arts (which is typically referred to as "EA", there's
considerable debate about that middle symbol but it's not a G) is still
very much alive, although I doubt you'd find anybody who knew the first
thing about Legacy of the Ancients.

What´s the debate? Its EOA. A cube, a sphere and a pyramid. It stands
for ElectrOnic Arts. Simple and sweet.
BTW The Swedish IT consulting company Enator is using the same symbol.
Check it out at:

The spring 1987 issue of Farther: The Electronic Arts Magazine contains the
following letter and response:
Dear Electronic Arts,
For a long time, I assumed that your logo stood for ECA, but my friend
insists it is EOA. My other friend says that the middle character isn't a
letter at all. Who's right?
[Response:]
Listen to your other friend. It might be argued that the logo represents
EleCtronic Arts, or maybe ElectrOnic Arts. But, after several months of
high-level discussion, our Executive Staff decided that we're just plain EA.
(The sphere isn't an O or a C. It's a Nerf ball that got caught in a disk
drive about four years ago, and has been turning up on our splash screens
ever since.) For more merrie adventures of the Cube, the Sphere, and the
Tetrahedron, look on the back cover of this issue!
[The back cover contains information about a contest in which you must find
these 3 shapes on the front of 5 (out of 16) EA products packages.]

Yeah. That was exactly it. My friend and I argued over whether or not it
was an O or a C and then we found out about the Nerf ball thing and we
were both pissed off.

Has anyone seen the United Paramount Network logo? (Another semi-TV
network for those who dont know)
It uses the sphere, pyramid and cube. The symbols have nothing to do
with the UPN. N as a cube, but the U as a sphere.
Very E(nerf)A!
