I can still NOT believe, that you used only one charset (max 256 chars) :) Really AWESOME gfx dude :)

Some serious dithering-porn here! The winner imho, excellent use of colours, composition, balance as hacked ut letters. And dtill more readable than the average tag on the street :-)

Very unique approach. This palette indeed creates the illusion of far more colors than three. And its a welcome challenge to read!

Wow, the colour bands over on the right look especially amazing on old VIC-II palette. Still impressive on new VIC-II too.

@Monte Carlos, the colors used to pixel this are 11, 14, 8 and 5.

This is great! Also really like that picture from X2012 (glad that I took the time to convert that for you).

Nice to have you on c64!

I do wonder about the colorpalette that you are using though, it's not really like any c64+monitor combination that I've seen.. (then, there are many..)
User Comment

Was this meant to use color combination 11, 14, 10 and 5 instead of 11, 14, 8 and 5? You can watch the effect when you freeze the part and change $d022 to $fa.

#1 in the dither-pattern compo for sure.

this design screams to be made into a real demopart.

but as a (Pokemon!) logo, still great, but there are a couple better ones.

How to use dithering.

Very Interesting, what u have done with 3 Colors ... its a noticeable Logo, no doubt. People who argue with Typeface ... yes its not Helvetica or Times New Roman ... ;-) I would rate it 9 up to 10.

Very nice style! But even after your explanation I have to say: letters are too much "hidden" for my taste.

Hello all. Thanks for your comments/remarks. As for the debate on how this is readable or not, well, in my book it is not (pretentious redundancy coming up) absolutely mandatory for a logo to serve as a text-title. There are plenty of logos made this way; graffiti artists and heavy metal fans from Norway can surely attest that :P

Anyway I have made a slipshod image (http://tinyurl.com/d4xllok) with the letters cleared and separated just for the record. I see how the "P" might have confused some people but, really, was it so hard in the end?

Love the typeface, reminds me of oldschool ASCII. Very skillful use of dithering, and a nice composition. A little too much art and too little logo for me, though - wish the logo had been a more prominent part of the picture. Still excellent.

Excellent work! This stands out above virtually every other entry for me. Far too many of the entries in this competition just look to the past, where as this is taking the restrictions and doing something that looks very different, yet still extremely good technically. Whilst I like the style of the type, it is virtually impossible to read, but that doesn't bother me too much here. It's not like you're advertising a product on a supermarket shelf!

technically the most pushing, ammazing joeish layering qualities, the typeface is not so nice tho.

WOW... this makes everything else look like shit. Serious envelope pushing right here. This is what staying on the C64 is all about. Old school is for memories, new school is for expanding minds. Great job sir!

Gotta agree with PAL here. Love the choice of colors, the illusion of a lot of colors, the dithering and the style. As a piece of art it is great, among the best I've seen in here for a while. As a logo not so much. Even when I know what it is supposed to say I can't read it.
User Comment
Submitted by PAL on 10 March 2013
I must say it is masterful as a color experiment, but as a logo I must admit that I can not read it, if filename were not on this in here it would for me be absolutely impossible to read. But man I love the colors in all the cool dithering and patterns. I could give a 10 for the colors, but since this is also a logo compo I must give it a 7.

Not so much of a LOGO itself, but for a clever and brave attempt I voted 10.

One of the best releases, clever usage of colors. Not my cup of tea in terms of shapes. Non the less I've enjoyed watching it on the real thing. 10/10

Once in a while someone new tries something on the C64 and it's amazing.
This is an outstanding example of that.

Well, this is the amazing logo I was kind of hoping for. Magnificent! I thought it had way more colors and couldn't believe the effects you created just with dithering. I doubt this can be topped. 10/10.

@tlr: I used Multicolor2Char (as suggested by The User) to do the count and according to that, it does fit. I appreciate if someone could verify it using a real C64 though. I'm still making my baby-steps on the machine :)

Awesome design -- this is beyond the usual logo release, and could compete in a generic/multiplatform GFX compo.
