Happy 35th birthday, Autodesk

Autodesk turned 35 years old, today. To commemorate this event, Shaan has suggested we all wear our oldest Autodesk shirt. I know I have an R14 ARX T-shirt somewhere, but I can't seem to find it (it was always about 5 sizes too big, so it may well have been thrown out).

The best I could do were these two polo shirts from circa 2000. I'm not sure which is oldest, so here they both are. I'd joined the company five years before that, in 1995, but was based in Europe: a notoriously merchandising-starved continent, back then. It wasn't until I moved to the Bay Area in 2000 that my 'deskdrobe started filling out. 🙂

Anyway, here's to 35 years of the 'desk. I'm proud to have been part of the journey for a good chunk of that. Let's see what the coming years bring!

  1. Kean, Can you name the year, event and the adsk product... (Hint before 2000)

    1. That's a cool T-shirt! Definitely from before my time, so couldn't even guess at the year (and could only really guess that it's AutoCAD?).

      1. Other side gives the answer. CAD Camp 1993 and I think it was AutoCAD

      2. I have recently been finding the Autodesk freebies from over the years and was thinking of posting some photos 🙂 Might do it on LinkedIn as a blog.

        1. Nice (on both the T-shirt and the photo-sharing)!
