Description

The original BeOS AboutSystem application included logos for some of the technology partners, as seen here:

I think visual cues (logos) for companies send a very strong message and they're easier to spot than text. I do think BeOS go this right, and maybe Haiku could consider this. A lot of companies can be instantly recognized by their logo. Probably be a lot of work, and possibly permission from the projects; but I believe it'd be well worth it, and would help!

thx
