I've added a download for the final version of this loading screen. Due to popular demand (heh!) it features the blue Psytronik logo and I've also changed the orange flesh tones to pink which look better on a real C64. Enjoy!

| As for that Samsung screenshot, it may be that there is some dynamic contrast thingy turned on (all the modern tvs have some sort of process for that), I'd also check if any "profile" (film/tv/game/vivid etc) is set. Usually "game" profiles are most pumped, and "film" ones most timid. |

I always viewed the logo as a take on the OCEAN logo, which was blue.
The blue logo works better than the red logo for all those reasons |

looks pretty nice, hope we'll see more from you in the future! (you were one of my first demo sources back in the 90s, part of the reason I'm here I guess!). Another vote for the blue logo!
And too much bickering about palettes, again... |

yes go for the blue logo. logo is supposed to stand out and it works much better that way :)
and could look in your c64 and tell exactly what VIC you have? (just tell everything that is written on it). and what kind of tv is this, relatively new? the kind of picture quality as in the pacman picture reminds me of the overbright colors we get on the equipment at parties (for example, yellow and white are almost the same, light grey is almost white). the famous 220ohm fix does the trick there :) |

| You know, I'm preferring the blue logo too. Maybe I'm just used to seeing the blue logo on Psytronik pics. Hmm, might change it back to blue before the game is mastered ... ! |

| Ah, as a relative newcomer to CSDb so I was unaware of all the hoo-hah surrounding the C64 palette. My philosophy is simple - draw a C64 pic so that it looks good on a C64 hooked up to a telly. Job done, move on to the next project. :) |

*sigh*... Steve, when will you finally be able to realize that there is not THE ONE palette but that there's many different versions of VICs with varying colors, many different kinds of monitors (or even TVs) and also an infinite number of ways that the dials on said monitors can be set?
It's even way way worse than with the variety of SIDs if you add the monitor into the equation.....
So the Palette that VICE and other c64 programs use is the one that is the *most common*, not the be-all palette that represents every c64-setup out there 100%!...
Pepto's palette is in so far the most accurate, because it's not congesture and not like the self-made "i think this is about right" palettes before it. He was the only person that actually took a vectorscope (well, homecat's friend did, and I sent Pepto the images! ;-) and made some measurements using a real (very common model) c64 to then *calculate* the palette from this data...
P.S: Wow. Palette discussion with Steve, now that's something new! ;-) |

Yep, these are the default "switch on" settings for the TV - I haven't increased any colour / brightness settings. And it's a standard breadbin style C64 that is plugged into it.
Oh yes, and the colour palette used for the picture above is "GoDot" - which is the standard setting for the Congo C64 gfx util (which I used to make the .prg file). |

a real one with extremely unusual settings indeed. are the color/contrast/saturation settings in neutral position? i doubt it. |

Here's how the pic looks on a real C64:-
That better, Oswald? That's an earlier version BTW - which is why the Psytronik logo is blue.
("Totally faked" is a bit harsh - how about just saying "it's a bit dark?") |

I like the vibrancy of the image. The red stripes in the background could have been anti-aliased better.
The Ninjas look photo real, and the Ninja to the far left looks like Kenz ;D |
