I don’t recall the Mandrill image ever being used in conjunction with Amiga. Jim Sachs creations like this one were more common https://www.reddit.com/r/Vintage

  It was, but note it's a scan, and so the point was to show off that it could reproduce photos. E.g. from Compute! September 1985[1]. Sachs was of course also immensely popular, and did enough work that I have no doubt more Amiga users saw his pictures. Here's a page with a lot more of his pictures[2], including the color cycling effect. (There's also a fantastic comparison far down that page of a sharp version vs. a VHS recording that shows just how much color bleed we had to deal with, and how it affected the art.

  The Mandrill was part of the launch event of Amiga in 1985 at the Lincoln Center. The event also included other famous demos, such as the bouncing ball. https://youtu.be/_QST1ZAJ29o?t=196 https://youtu.be/_QST1ZAJ29o?t=196
