  • Tamiko Thiel designed the CM-1 logo in 1983 before the CM-1 itself was designed.
  • The CM-1 supercomputer was designed to resemble the logo, making it unique as a supercomputer inspired by a t-shirt design.
  • The t-shirt gained fame in the 1990s when Apple featured Richard Feynman wearing it in their 'Think different' campaign.
  • A CM-2 was acquired by MoMA NY in 2016, 30 years after the CM-1 launch, featured in 'Thinking Machines: Art and Design in the Computer Age, 1959–1989.'
  • The 'classic' CM-1 color scheme is highlighted among various options.
  • T-shirts and accessories are available for order in different designs for men, women, and kids.
