HP NewWave

Background: HP NewWave is an alternate desktop shell for Windows 3.1.

Note: We'll keep the image big, because we have to get more detailed data.

(1992-1993)

Logo: We don't know how the animation goes at the moment, but what we do know is that on a grey background, we see "NewWave" in an Impact font on a blue and grey square. "Working Model" is under this, along with a pixelated image of a blue rushing wave. The Hewlett-Packard logo is on the top of this, and copyright information is on the bottom.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: There is 2 versions:

• Startup: A synthesized version of the TADA! sound. This can be found on Windows 95 and later operating systems until Windows 7.
• Shutdown: See Windows.

Availability: Extremely rare.

Scare Factor: None, but the synthesized version of the TADA! sound may startle first-time viewers. Harmless if you know this sound.
