Jonathan Schwartz

John Markoff has an article in the Times today about new Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz. Schwartz is an out of the box idea man, as opposed to McNealy's obsession with Microsoft (although that's a vast oversimplification) and former president Ed Zander's intense sales focus. (Also, Jonathan's blog has a nce tribute to Scott.)

Accompanying the article is a photo of Schwartz in front of a Sun sign somewhere on one of Sun's campuses. It's notable because it shows the original version of the current Sun logo -- before someone had the idea to turn it on its corner. I've always thought that Sun has the best company logo in the computer industry.
