Johnny Castaway is a screensaver released in 1993 by Sierra Entertainment Sierra On Line Dynamix , and marketed under the Screen Antics brand. The screensaver depicts a man stranded on a very small island with a single palm tree. It follows a story which is slowly revealed through time. It takes many days to catch on to the story. While Johnny eats fishes, builds sand castles, and sleeps on a regular basis, there are a number of unusual events such as the island getting crushed by a ship that Johnny attracted, Johnny getting tied up, and a mermaid coming to the island. Johnny Castaway also features holidays of the year such as Halloween , Christmas , Jul 4 July 4th and others. The scenes played out as normal in those times, except for some detail representing the event. For example, in the last week of the year, the palm tree would have a happy new year banner. Halloween has a jack o lantern in the sand, and so on. This feature was easier to see than the normal antics, requiring the user to simply change the system clock to the chosen day. Character design was done by Shawn Bird while he was at Dynamix . The game had been developed at Jeff Tunnell Productions, the eponymous company of the original founder of Dynamix. ref cite web author Shawn Bird title Johnny Castaway url http home.earthlink.net zugmo johnny.htm ref According to Ken Williams gaming Ken Williams , the screensaver was one of several products by Dynamix that were cheap to create and very profitable. ref cite web author Philip Jong title Ken Williams Interview url http www.adventureclassicgaming.com index.php site interviews 197 accessdate July 12, 2010 ref References reflist External links http web.onetel.net.uk gnudawn johnny Johnny Castaway s Home Page Category Screensavers ... more details

refimprove date May 2009 An operator logo is a logo which appears on the status screen of a mobile phone . Originally intended as a way for phone companies to brand phones attached to their networks, the operator logo has since become a method by which owners may customise their phones to reflect their own interests. It helped kick off mobile phone content advertising which became particularly prominent with ring tone adverts. Later phones have provided the facility to have animated screensaver screen savers , or colour logos. An industry has sprung up around the use of these logos, and around ring tone s, tailored towards phones, such as those made by Nokia , which can receive new logos in a Short message service text message . Several mobile phone companies provide services on their websites where users can design their own logos, and there is also software available which can be used to create them.
