Workbench 3.1 Dream Floppies

[YouKnowWho]

Workbench 3.1 - This year marks 32 years since this 32-bit OS was last released by Commodore for our beloved 32-bit Amiga.

To commemorate this, here is a one-of-a-kind AMIGA Workbench 3.1 floppy disk set, as it should have always been.

Don't they look oh so right?

I like your labels, I made a set of these too back in the day, I used D-Paint IV and Page-Stream 3.2. What did you use?

I bought my first copy of OS 3.1 from VillageTronic during the '94 bankruptcy. It was allowed for a short time due to the 'then new' Picasso II graphics card that required 3.1 for RTG. I still have the black manual set and floppies. I think those labels are similar to these.

@Magic - I used amazing Commodore C= AMIGA original silkscreen branded maxell 2DD floppy disks!

But seriously...in this case, I just asked a shop to print these labels to sticker stock from a file I found online. But it would be quite killer to print these form an Amiga onto a Fargo Primiera dye sub color printer, which we used to see in Amiga World ads. Or a 24-pin dot matrix colour for that budget look. These make me want to boot from floppy.

I surely can't do that part! I couldn't imagine how you pulled off that one! Good Job!

Nice touch using Amiga branded floppies!

For anyone interested in renewing their Workbench disk labels I have recreated the labels from all original releases:

Nice repros!

I used to order mine from www. plakativ-druck.ch but these days am using the ones from https://intensecreative.forumotion.com/

They look fantastic printed on gloss labels and stuck onto black floppy disks (not HD) - complimenting my black cased A1200's

@miggymad - oooh....that's so "modern" looking...like it was just released!

I'm sure we all just finished Stranger Things, so how about looking at these beauties form The Upside Down just for that stunning Commodore blue silk-screened double C= AMIGA logo. Ahhh...Stranger Things...1989...a scene that was cruelly cut for some reason was that right after graduating they all went to a local Authorized Commodore Amiga dealer and each picked up the brand new Amiga 2500 with the newly released A2630.

I surely can't do that part! I couldn't imagine how you pulled off that one! Good Job!

Two words....Desktop Dynamite!

...some 1200s packs included disks that were on these beautiful double-branded floppies. Soak paper label gently, remove, relabel, enjoy your very own 32-year tribute issue of Workbench 3.1.
