Acorn Computers - Logo Model

Celebrate the roots of British computing innovation with this 3D printed logo of the legendary Acorn Computer Company, a pioneer that shaped the landscape of personal computing in the UK and beyond.

Founded in 1978 by Chris Curry and Hermann Hauser, Acorn Computers rose from humble beginnings in Cambridge to become a powerhouse of the British computer industry. The company's acorn logo, symbolizing growth and potential, became synonymous with quality and innovation in home and educational computing throughout the 1980s.

Acorn's journey to prominence began with the Acorn System 1 in 1979, but it was the BBC Micro, launched in 1981, that catapulted the company to national fame. Selected by the BBC for its Computer Literacy Project, this iconic machine found its way into schools across the UK, introducing a generation to the world of computing and programming.

The company's innovative spirit didn't stop there. In 1985, Acorn developed the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) processor, a revolutionary design that would go on to power billions of mobile devices worldwide. This technological legacy continues to influence the global tech industry to this day.

Despite facing challenges in the 1990s, Acorn's impact on computing history is undeniable. The company's DNA lives on through ARM Holdings and in the philosophy behind the Raspberry Pi, created by former Acorn employees to rekindle the spirit of learning that the BBC Micro inspired.

This 3D printed Acorn logo is more than just a symbol – it's a piece of British technological heritage. It's perfect for anyone who grew up with an Acorn computer, tech history enthusiasts, or those who appreciate the underdogs that went on to change the world.
Whether you spent hours coding on an Electron, played classic games on the Archimedes, or simply admire Acorn's contributions to computing, this logo is a must-have for your collection.

Approx 9" Wide.

Please note that as each piece is made to order, there may be slight variations in colour and finish, making your model truly one-of-a-kind.
