Iconic Y2K Company Logos.

During the era of the late nineties and early naughties company logos began adopting the cybercore iconography in it’s style this shift peaked around 1999/2000.

I put a few logos before the design shift to show you the difference between how it was then versus how Y2K it started to look, some logos were already designed in that style so there wasn’t anything to compare it to.

When looking up Y2K logo aesthetics the thing that annoys the piss out of me is that a bunch of templates pop up with original designs rather than real life examples, this logo shift was very pronounced and a huge staple of Y2K.

🇺🇲 Step back in time and experience the roar of the iconic AMC Javelin, a true legend of American muscle cars! Introduced in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Javelin was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured across two generations, spanning from 1968 through 1970 and then from 1971 through 1974 model years. It was designed to compete in the pony car market segment against rivals like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.

🚗💨 The AMC Javelin burst onto the scene in 1968, showcasing a sleek design and powerful engines. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin offered a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car variants to high-performance muscle car models. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a long hood and aggressive stance, turned heads on the streets and racetracks alike.

🏭 Besides being manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were also assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Australia, showcasing its global reach. American Motors even offered discounts to U.S. military personnel, leading to many Javelins being exported overseas.

🛞 Under the hood, the Javelin packed serious power. It was available with inline-six engines or potent V8s, delivering thrilling acceleration and speed. The AMX variant, equipped with a 6.4-liter V8, boasted over 300 horsepower!

🏆 The AMC Javelin wasn't just about looks—it excelled on the track too. It competed in Trans-Am racing, demonstrating its speed and agility. In fact, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency. Today, the Javelin's unique style and racing heritage make it a sought-after classic among collectors.

💔 By 1974, the automobile landscape had shifted. While other manufacturers downsized engines in response to changing market demands and fuel shortages, the Javelin's big engine option continued until production ceased in November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and declining interest in high-performance vehicles.

🦅 The AMC Javelin embodies the spirit of American muscle cars, blending style, performance, and affordability. It's a timeless classic that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. Get ready to hit the road and experience the thrill of the AMC Javelin!

The Top 300 Companies in Ireland

This is going by revenue largely with the main sources listed at the bottom.

Similarly, this likely has a few omissions as numbers vary particularly with Private companies and there are large year-to-year swings in revenue particularly for MNCs with their EMEA or ROW arm in Ireland.

The locations chosen here for companies are their main Operational/Commercial HQ globally or in Ireland, Dublin is heavily featured here in part due to this as a hub for commercial activity & talent but many of these companies have operations outside the capital that actually may employ more (particularly in relation to pharmaceutical production).

Other companies have multiple bases of operations in Ireland mainly due to their being multiple subsidiaries or Logistics & Supply-chain HQ being based closer to production centres while commercial and sales HQ are based in the Capital.

Edit: also please point out if you think any major firms are missing, I’ve had a few pointed out to me that are major employers here, I’ll have to look in to why they don’t appear on Irish tax register (usually the case due to beneficial tax setup).

Honestly, every news about mass lay-offs sound like

"This game/tv show/movie/platform" did Record Breaking numbers and actually cured cancer. however, the CEO invested a gazillion dollars on Pumpkings and forgot to sell them before Halloween, as a result they had to mass lay-off everyone who was involved on that"

"This ability to make Tough Decisions to save the company is why they are an excellent CEO everyone should emulate"

🇺🇸 Before purchasing the iconic ICQ Messenger from Mirabilis, AOL Inc. had already developed its own internet messaging tool. Released in May 1997 as a stand-alone download for Microsoft Windows, AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) quickly became the go-to platform for online communication. Created by American Online Inc., AIM used the OSCAR and TOC protocols to connect users in real time, becoming a cultural phenomenon by the late 1990s.

💾 At its peak, AIM had the largest share of the instant messaging market in North America, particularly in the United States, where it held 52% of the market as of 2006. This figure excludes other AOL-related instant messaging software like ICQ and iChat. AIM's main competitors included ICQ (which AOL acquired in 1998), Yahoo! Messenger, and MSN Messenger. AOL had a notable rivalry with PowWow and Microsoft, sparking the "chat wars" in 1999.

🚶‍♂️ The AIM mascot, designed by JoRoan Lazaro, debuted with the first release in 1997. This yellow stickman-like figure, known as the "Running Man," appeared on all AIM logos and wordmarks and was always featured at the top of the buddy list.

👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓 AIM was particularly popular among teens and college students in the United States and beyond. Its away message feature allowed users to share their whereabouts, thoughts, and plans with friends, making it a staple of daily digital interaction. AIM wasn't just a messaging app; it was a way of life.

📉 Despite its early success, AIM's popularity began to decline in the 2010s. The rise of Gmail's Google Talk, the advent of SMS, and the explosive growth of social networks like Facebook led to a decrease in AOL subscribers. AIM's fall from grace is often compared to other once-dominant services like Myspace.

📆 In June 2015, AOL was acquired by Verizon Communications, which later merged AOL and Yahoo into Oath Inc. Unfortunately, on December 15, 2017, AIM was discontinued, marking the end of an era.

💔 Though AIM is no longer with us, its impact on digital communication remains unforgettable. It paved the way for the instant messaging services we rely on today, leaving behind a legacy of nostalgia and innovation.

Why Vac-U-Form did fail to become mainstream? Is it because very hot surfaces were easily accessible to a child ? Or is it because big companies didn't like the idea of everyone being able to produce what they sell ?
