Crazy part is that he picked up the Enron trademark for $250!
Not like it had a lot of practical value. Sure, it cost a lot to design -- but all that value went down the drain in 2001.
This is honestly the real "hacker news". $250 for what was likely millions of dollars of visual design and global household name recognition
Amazing. And indeed, surely a multi-million dollar commission (in ‘90s dollars!) - the logo is from the same guy who did the logos for IBM and NeXT (among many others).
