On comp.sys.apple2 last summer there was a thread about exceptionally good-looking floppy disks. Here are some of the examples posted.

Got any more? It's a bit sad that there's almost no room for this sort of artistry anymore in today's teeny-tiny storage media (like those SanDisk flash drives that are smaller than the USB interface to which they're attached).

What? Is it any more ridiculous than "Best-looking classic computers"?

It was just a Beavis & Butthead moment.

Some nice artwork. Those stand out for sure in a collection.

About 1989, my family received some promotional material from GM (or possibly Chrysler) that included a PC trivia(?) game on a 5.25" disk. I no longer have it, but I remember that it was in a custom jacket with a very nice illustration of their latest high-end car.

I was always a fan of the "rainbow" box of floppys - - I liked sorting my programs by color!

It made them easy to reach for ("oh yeah, that game is on the RED floppy, and the paper I wrote is on that blue one!)

The ones on the ends are floppy sleeves. Still pretty cool.

My wife has beautiful floppies but I ain't posting pics.
