SplaTT Technologies circa 1996
Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Personal; Work .
While archiving folders, i found this blast from my past…
The funky image above is the logo I used in 1996 for “SplaTT Technologies”, which was my Virtual Reality / Multimedia / Internet business between 1990 and 1997.
From the 1996 website:
“Formed in 1995 by its Managing Director, Miroslav Stanic, Splatt Technologies grew out of the well documented need to provide a variety of innovative services and functions to the ever increasing field of Virtual Reality for the Australasian market.
With its well thought out business plan, inventive developer partners and its attitude to new Technologies, it is well positioned to be providing ground breaking and exciting services well into the next century.”
(Note: Miroslav Stanic is the actual name on my birth certificate, and I go through periods when i use it instead of Mick…though i think 1997 was the last time i went through that phase)
For more info check out this blog post from the past which gives a quick explanation of what SplaTT Technologies did. For a frightening journey into the technology of the past, you can grab a PDF (5MB) of a document that we created as a leave behind for a VR / Multi-media presentation tour of Australian Army and Air Force bases that we we did in 1996 with our sister company at the time, Caged Productions.
While the idea behind SplaTT Technologies was a bit ahead of its time, and it didn’t end up “providing ground breaking and exciting services well into the next century”, it certainly did set the tone for my all of my endeavours after 1997…and who knows, SplaTT Technologies may well again appear one day…as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeysuckle Creek Pty Ltd ;)
