Death Star


Death Star

["Star Wars" film] 1. The AT&T corporate logo, which appearson computers sold by AT&T and bears an uncanny resemblance tothe Death Star in the movie. This usage is particularlycommon among partisans of BSD Unix, who tend to regard theAT&T versions as inferior and AT&T as a bad guy. Copies stillcirculate of a poster printed by Mt. Xinu showing a starscapewith a space fighter labelled 4.2BSD streaking away from abroken AT&T logo wreathed in flames.

2. AT&T's internal magazine, "Focus", uses "death star" todescribe an incorrectly done AT&T logo in which the innercircle in the top left is dark instead of light - a frequentresult of dark-on-light logo images.
