It's so fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

@NanoRaptor

I can't think of any company that deserves to have its arse handed to it like this MORE. 😁

💯 👍 🫶

@NanoRaptor Where do we want you to go today?
@NanoRaptor Alternatively, "MicroCock"
@mast0d0nphan @NanoRaptor Nah, that's nothing to be ashamed about.
@NanoRaptor Well, I guess it's more like MAKROSLOP what they're doing?

@Pixtxa

Microslop is right where it's at, because ... tbf ... their slop, out of all the slops, is just - bad.

@NanoRaptor

@NanoRaptor already moved from their operating system Winknows, slowly moving away from their console the Xblob

@NanoRaptor Dang. Can I turn some of these into stickers? :P

Edit: not to sell. just to stick on my laptop and junk.

@NanoRaptor it's crazy how the second to last logo is still what microslop looks like in my head
@StellaFoxxie it's the logo on my preferred symmetrical mouse, it'll always be The One for me
@barometz mycrowsoft natural keyboard, my beloverd
@StellaFoxxie @NanoRaptor
Same here.
Probably because of the notch cut out of the first 'o'.
@NanoRaptor did not know Gates went through a Metallica phase
@NanoRaptor Those goofy slopmongers should never have had the gall to challenge the public to open insult battle 😂
@NanoRaptor I think I found their pitch deck…
@NanoRaptor Lovely slop, slop, sloppity slop.
@NanoRaptor Plot twist: the slop isn't micro sized at all
@NanoRaptor Their first logo really was the best.

@NanoRaptor

If the bicycle parts manufacturer "microSHIFT" ever start enshittifying, would you have any ideas about how to parody their name? 🤪

@NanoRaptor Okay but you have to admit the Metallica phase was pretty neat.
@NanoRaptor
In Seattle back in the day we called version number 3 "The Asshole with Teeth."

@NanoRaptor
Hehe excellent, now do Jensen Leather Jacket.
@NanoRaptor I will be using some of these for my SCALE conference shirt this year
@stunder @NanoRaptor Yeah, this would make a good T-shirt
@NanoRaptor Microslop's heavy metal band logo was their best
@th @NanoRaptor im upset how good that logo was
@th @NanoRaptor Missing a few umlauts, but otherwise they were on a good path with that one..
@NanoRaptor At this point I'm hoping that they reveal a new 'AI' generated logo of a familiar penguin. The Marketing dept won't know about Tux, push this penguin as the new logo and macroslop end up having to fork out billions to the Linux Foundation (and/or Larry Ewing) after "settling out of court" because they can't risk the lawsuit that would entirely undermine copilot.
@Chrisgodwin @NanoRaptor uhh you do know that Microslop are on the Linux Foundation board don't you

@ewe2 @NanoRaptor I do apologise, I thought the fantastical nature of what I said made the fact this was a joke obvious.

I'm sorry you didn't realise that I was not talking about something realistic. If this version of the joke troubles you please replace "penguin" with apple and "Linux" with Apple.

@NanoRaptor is the white cross just background color leaking through, or does it extend with 4 orthogonal bits?
@NanoRaptor I like the one used on Slashdot (might not have been official): MiKKKro$haft
@NanoRaptor Wait! I'm pretty sure it's MakroSof, right.....?!!n
@[email protected]@bitbang.social Microslop Wind'oh 11
@NanoRaptor they grow up so fast 
@NanoRaptor this is the future..... Written with my overrated TailsOS. Irony off
@NanoRaptor This is really well done! Great type matching!
@NanoRaptor Copilot clippy: hey it looks like you're writing a prompt!

@NanoRaptor @Viss anyone remember that kid called Mike Rowe (no relation to the celebrity) in Canada who ran an independent software consultancy called Mike Rowe Soft? got sued by these guys?

pepperidge farm remembers

Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft - Wikipedia

@NanoRaptor Also fascinating to see the transition from their Disco Pop phase to a short Metal phase.
@NanoRaptor do you mind if I print some of these as physical stickers? They are too good not to slap on some of my PCs
@NanoRaptor
Oooh—I want a big MicroSlop sticker for my laptop
@NanoRaptor hey, would you mind a DM about these logos? 👀
@NanoRaptor
They should probably acquire Onlyfans and then rebrand themselves to Onlyslop. 😒
#Microslop
@NanoRaptor Always was; always will be Microslop.
