But take a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ubuntu.com\/\">Ubuntu<\/a> logo below, and then the logo imprinted on Zuse&#8217;s forehead (played by Michael Sheen) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1104001\/\">TRON:Legacy<\/a>, and tell me they&#8217;re not very similar. One might be quick to compare the logo to that on Dr. Manhattan&#8217;s forehead, but I think that is wrong &#8211; his is clearly an electron swirling around a nucleus, whereas this logo is clearly more of a convergence, and related to the tron &#8220;disc&#8221; and thus any computer disc &#8211; for install, backup, or otherwise. Anyways its a good film &#8211; and Zuse&#8217;s character made me want to watch A Clockwork Orange again (the similarities overtly stolen).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6554\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/trons-zuse-resembles-ubuntu-os\/ubuntu-logo-large\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ubuntu-Logo-Large\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ubuntu-Logo-Large\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?resize=125%2C125&amp;ssl=1 125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Ubuntu-Logo-Large.png?resize=32%2C32&amp;ssl=1 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6555\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/trons-zuse-resembles-ubuntu-os\/zuse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?fit=500%2C532&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,532\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Zuse\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?fit=500%2C532&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?fit=500%2C532&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?resize=500%2C532&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"Zuse\" width=\"500\" height=\"532\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Zuse.png?resize=125%2C133&amp;ssl=1 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Made you look!
