    This reminds me of something I always liked, the way computer
names or logos were typed so that they resemble the real thing:

    Apple ][ and ][+
    Apple //e
    (=  (Commodore 'chicken head' logo)
    IBM  (Well, on old monochrome CRTs the letters actually had lines)
    NeXT

Can anyone think of any other common ones?
