How about 'oldschool 3-color-logo compo' ?

Will this be a challenge for the graphicians?

- Entries have to be in simple multicolor mode (Koala, etc)
- Max. usage of 3 colors + background overall, of which one has to be one of the first 8 colors
- Has to be convertible into a single multicolor charset (max. 256 different chars)
- Has to be a "logo", means there must be something to read that makes some sense (no "grmblmpf", etc.). Might be a name, group name, etc.
- Logo is not limited to screen size.
- All entries must be handed in as excecutable format and be able to show the full logo.
- No music or visual effects allowed besides movers which are needed to show logo in full size.
- Must not be used in a public production before.
- Max. 3 entries per participant.
- Compo runtime: 1 month.

Haha. Quoting Zyron's oneliner from this night: "00:17 - Zyron: First we need a crackintro logo compo."

Had the idea earlier together with the crack intro music compo but did not want to run 2 compos simultanously.

Music compo ends at end of January, maybe I'd start it in early February. Wanna do some pre-work? ;)

maybe narrow the logo name to "laxity" so you will have enough logos and musics for all the stuff you release...

Nice idea but that's not the focus of this compo. ;) I like the style how some graphicians did really great logos within very narrow limitations. That's something fascinating on C64 in general: Doing great stuff with very limited resources.
We still have some unused logos on stock, but if someone wants to do one: Feel free. But no guarantee we will use it. ;)

I think these compo's are great, but the rush of different compo's is a bit too much. We already have 2 music compo's running at once, and let's not run out of interesting compo's within a few months. Some yearly planning would be nice I guess.
And we need coding compo's too!

Also, I think Didi adds an edge to it by clearly defining restrictions. Me likes!

Ppl complaining about restrictions should start a bitmap/[muia]fli/withspritesontop compo themselves ;)
