if you don't know how to convert your logo to charmode, png2prg 1.10.1 is here to help you.
It supports all standard gfx-modes, including all char-modes.

Simply run a 320x200 png through png2prg with the -display flag and it should autodetect the correct gfx mode.
In case it doesn't, try forcing the mode:

png2prg -d -m petscii image.png
png2prg -d -m sccharset image.png
png2prg -d -m mccharset image.png
png2prg -d -m mixedcharset image.png
png2prg -d -m ecm image.png

Enjoy this fun compo :)

@Burg:
ECM! Yes! I like to poke in my own displayers for everything from scratch, but for ECM last time I had to bother a real coder (thanks Icon!). I’ll surely try png2prg out! Thanks!

If an entry of mine is deemed "Out of Compo" (which is totally fine, btw--helps me figure out where the rule edge cases are) may I submit more entries that conform to the rules?

Thought I re-post this comment here, as it may be of interest to other participants as well.
