Maybe the little Sensible men, because they were in so many great games. Or the Juggler, that showed the world what the Amiga was made of.

BippyM - That;s the fella - Is there a more classic Amiga image?

How about him (although more of a God than an icon...):

To go slightly off topic, this bastard belongs to the lowlife scum of the icons. Evil or Very Mad

I'd say the amiga doesn't really have one to be honest...

I like the idea of using a lemming but it just doesn't hold up to Sonic or Mario in terms of how they are obviously connected to the brand. The amiga doesn't have an icon that sums it all up like they do. You show someone who's never played a SNES, a picture of mario and they still know it's Mario and it's Nintendo, moreso for Sonic. If you showed someone ANY of the amiga game characters, chances are they won't know it was connected with the amiga.

Lemmings were released on so many other formats so if you've never played an amiga you'd never connect the two. Superfrog is a better choice, but once again, if you've not played an amiga, chances are you won't have a clue who the hell it is! Don't get me wrong superfrog is a superb game, but it can't represent the amiga's 'image'.

I'd personally go for Ruff Rogers from Ruff'n'Tumble but only because I love the game, he's even less known than froggy!

The hand with Amiga Floppy was a real remember thingy of the Amiga. Ask any one about it and they would say Amiga. (Well, if they have ever seen an Amiga ofcourse!)
