This is a 'new logo' sign that hung in the Dallas, Texas office of Boole & Babbage, a mainframe software tools vendor. The company was the FIRST mainframe tools company that existed, and is THE company that forced IBM at the time to un-bundle their software (MLC) from the hardware offering. This is a new design sign from 1992 until the acquisition by BMC Software out of Houston Texas in early 1999. In about 1992, the company re-branded and moved away from the "George & Charlie" cameo logo's.
This sign is in very nice shape, but is not perfect/flawless.It's a super sturdy sign, and I believe the backing is 1/2" thick painted plexiglass with CNC cut lettering. The base of the sign is white and the letters are grey and the 'fork' is green.
Boole & Babbage had the absolute best mainframe software tools available in the marketplace bacjk then, and still does to this day!
Local pick-up is available if you are in the DFW area - WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS! Heck, I may even know you...
This will no doubt need VERY sturdy packaging.
Please look at my other items and let me know if any questions.

TSA/PPE (Total System Analyzer/Problem Program Evaluator), later became InTune.

OmegaMon could NOT do that.

Then there was Model 300, queuing theory modeling.

DB2 Manager became MainView for DB2 (remember RxD2/Link & RxD2/FlexTools?).

The IMS family was 13 separate tools that all became MV for IMS.
