The retail box design [1] of the Voodoo 3 2000 is still burned into my memory even after 23 years. The purple woman's face, 6 million triangles per second... just, sold. 1999 was just an amazing time.

The design of their second logo (the one in that image) held up pretty well.

In retrospect, it reminds me of the Amazon logo [0]. The orange swoopy thing evokes the Amazon A-to-Z "smile" (2000 onwards, although they had a more generic orange swoopy thing before that). Never noticed that similarity before.

I also had a Voodoo 3 with that box design back then, but different colors (Voodoo 3 3000 model). Actually still have the card...
