The problem with the OS/2 ad campaign was that the marketing guys had no idea what the techies were talking about when they talked about OS/2 working at warp speed. The marketeers saw "warp" as twisted, waving-- hence the swirling logotype. But the techies were talking about "Warp factor 9, Mister Scott!"

Another -major- blunder in the ad campaign-- they never bothered to tell you exactly what OS/2 Warp -was-! They didn't bother to tell you that it was everything Microsoft Windows 95 (?) promised, but available NOW! Windows/95 was still just an advertising campaign!
