I presume you mean the two page spread entitled "Look Who's Pushing 40".
The ad has about ten large logos of companies that are in, as well
as about twenty that are listed just by name.

Commodore has a nice big logo.

Sun is not listed (no surprise).

Atari is not listed.

Apple is not listed(!).

NeXT is not listed(!!).

Don't ask me why not...

Incidentally, I'm told that the 68040 shown in the ad is actual size
(about 2" x 2").
