Need to move a multicolor bitmap logo...

Hey guys..

I drew this fantastic logo and well, once I started in on the code (today), I found that it has to be moved up 2 pixels.

Now, we all know the problem with that idea.. The coloring will corrupt, even if using a copy/paste feature.

Is there any way for me to move the logo up 2 pixels without having to re-do the coloring again?

Thanks in Advance...

***edit

And without using FLD would be preferred because I'm using it on the entire logo..

perhaps make a screenshot in vice and edit it up two pixels in mspaint then load it into timanthes or project one and save as a koala?
Oh yeah, screensize should be 160x200 or 320x200 .. i dunno, i am pc illiterate

I was thinking that I could load it up in some FLI editor perhaps and be able to move it that way, just not sure. Pretty much why i'm asking before I make this harder than it has to be. I'm positive someone came across this problem and made some sort of program to fix it.

I stick to the old school tools that I used when starting. Art Studio, turbo assembler, ultrafont (not always), etc...

Was just hoping there would be an easier way..

I would do just like fade suggested. First, move the pixels up two steps using GIMP/PhotoShop/mtPaint/whatever, and then load it into Project One and save it as Koala.

If you desperately don't want to use modern software, then I guess you could use Amica Paint's selection tool and pray.

Vidcom64 is a bitmap editor where you can move the picture x/y on pixel level. The ActionReplay cartridge can convert your picture to Vidcom-format. That's the old-school way of doing it :).

Personally, I wouldn't know how. Moving the bitmap will almost certainly result in colour clashes.
My choice would be to just move up that logo and fix the errors.
Or rather, my choice would be to not move the logo and fix the design :-D

Or you could make it a 3-coloured logo...

Ack to 3 colors (almost insulted on that).

I'm going to try Fade's suggestion. I have all the tools he mentioned, I just thought someone would have made some sort of utility and was hoping for an easier way to fix the problem.

I'll post again and let you guys know how it went.

Thanks for all the help with this. It does save me some time.

Since I posted it on Driven, I might as well do it here.

I do, however, think the link is limited.

Wow..

Ok.. I tried Timanthes, GangEd and Project one.

I will have to do some editing on the logo.

As for the results, GangEd gave the best results, with the least corruption. Amazing if you look at the time of my last post and this one, pretty much how much time it took to try 3 programs.

Instead, I waited what? 8 hours? hehe.. All good..

Thanks again for your help guys..
