Description
A poster for what would become the first in the OS computer series, which is still produced to this day.
I really like the 1970s-styled MilTEC logo in the corner. It's not based off of any one logo in particular, and is more of a generalization of computer companies from the 70s (although at the time, MilTEC was also, among many other things, a defense contractor with over 25 defense contracts from various countries on 4 continents, so it wasn't the only thing they did back then).

The OS (OS stands for exactly what you think it does) series wasn't even available yet (it was introduced in 1979) so this was actually the short lived TCOS (Tee-coss, short for Text Controlled Operating System) which was very similar to MS-DOS (although MS-DOS wasn't available until 1981) in that everything was text-controlled. TCOS began development in 1973 and was finished in 1974, being discontinued in 1985 but technical support is still available (MilTEC never discontinues technical support).

MilTEC is a fictional company, OS is a fictional product line.

The computer in the middle was made using a picture of a real computer that looks like it's from the mid to late 1970s (Although MilTEC is known for making things that didn't exist in the time period, such as HD computer monitors in 1989, it was far less pronounced earlier on. In fact, up until around the late 70s and early 80s, MilTEC made things that were actually pretty normal). I did this because I don't have a 30 year old computer laying around, and I don't know anybody who would own one which I could slap the MilTEC logo on.

At this time, MilTEC was obviously a very large company (they could afford color printing for all their advertising. This is shown by their logo which incorporates a color spectrum, a very popular feature seen in logos of the time period)

Fun fact: the address listed in the corner would place their headquarters right by an IBM branch office in Atlanta. The phone number, of course, has the correct area code but is one digit too short (for the United States it is, anyway, and since this is a United States phone number, it wouldn't work).

Don't worry, the poster is supposed to look faded and beat up (it IS supposed to be over 37 years old, after all).
Speaking of fading, to produce the "faded and damaged paper" effect, I used brushes from Arcnerva and Byalias.
Thank you, it really makes the picture pop.
The font I used is Century Gothic (which actually did not exist until 1991, but it's supposed to look like Avant-Garde, but I don't have the money to buy a $900 font).
