The Adobe offices more or less did that. You can see the logos of flash kirupa posted in the background of my desk photo: [http://desk.senocular.com](http://desk.senocular.com) Err… slight variation of. I can’t remember which one came first. (Edit: guess its one in the same: [http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/a-nostalgic-rummage-through-the-history-of-flash--active-6733](http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/a-nostalgic-rummage-through-the-history-of-flash--active-6733) - I do remember those posters being very similar except a change in version numbers) They had similar framings for most of the other Macromedia apps too. Eventually they got replaced with something less interesting. ---

There are many interesting details on the cover. 1. In the background, a fat tv, not a monitor, displays what looks like an underwater scenario. 2. Internet animators want to animate crabs.(on old cellulose film) 3. It depicts what a futurewave looks like in the bottom. ---

I didn’t know Flash was a contraction of Future Splash. ---

And SWF backwards is FWS… FutureWave Software. And ‘FWS’ are the first 3 bytes of every uncompressed SWF file. Wonder why??? > [@kirupa](#): > > Who all here even remembers these logos in their old/retro state?

I do wonder why. Do you mean to tell me that SWFs are needlessly 2 bytes larger than they need to be?! ---

Wow pretty fun information. I didn’t realize that box was flash’s ancestor. I’ve never seen that before, but the roll of film waving along is so “1990s software” to me. One of the first flash animations i made was actually a crab that looked very much like that one, funny ---

> [@prg9](#): > > I get the few toys, but what it with the extreme amount of bubble wrap? This was right before they moved me, so I was in the process of gathering wrap for the big pack-n-move. Bubblewrap is precious to me. 🤗 ---

If i can find it ill send it your way (if you want) i stupidly threw it in the corner and it might be thrown away by now, i found it like a month ago. I also found hand drawn sketch’s, i believe drawn around the 1950s stashed in a ceiling cavity. I would post them but they are adult themed. Super funny and interesting though. I can imagine some kid drawing them before that kind of stuff was available, stashed away …60 years later i open the vault, pull a computer from my pocket connected to space and take color pictures as i go about my day. ---

That vid reminds me, i forgot how strange and violent looney toons actually was. Id like to sit down and watch some old episodes some day. I guess that’s the premise of itchy and scratchy. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/this-brings-back-memories/634674.md?page=2)
