Opinion BY Clinton Duncan
Acer
Acer, as you’re probably aware, is a Taiwanese computer and electronics manufacturer, making everything from desktop and laptop PCs, PDAs, storage devices, smartphones and… well you get it. What you may not know, is they are the global number two PC maker, behind HP and in front of Dell. They recently updated their rather odd looking pine green logo to a less odd, more “consumer friendly yet technological” lime green logotype in their push to be ‘more like Apple’. Financial Times has the story. Below (or after the jump) you can see the progression over the years, with the latest iteration definitely the best yet.
