I don't like this direction, and here are my reasons:
1. The sid emulator font is a bit map font on the commodore label area of
the banner. The font is not unique. We are already using a similar font for
Bit Invade where it makes sense. Like Freeboy Color logo, the Sid logo
should capture the commodore 64's case font otherwise it's just generic
8bit. Here is the real logo vs the variation with sid emulator written
below. this is why I used as my reference.

2. The banner is using the C64 G label. While it is a C64 label, it lacks
contrast due t it's pale background. The original C64 is the more iconic
C64 casing, and it's logo has more contrast. Here are the 3 major cases for
the C64. Again the top left in my opinion is the most iconic.

3. Because the C64 was an 8Bit color system it had more or less the same
colors as any other 8bit color system. The thing that was icon of the C64
color wise was it's blue on blue graphics when it started up. If this were
done in those two colors then it would be fitting, but I think that would
make an unappealing interface. As it stands these colors could be from an
Atari, a TI-99/4A or even a PC.

With that being said, and a fresh pair of eyes, I do feel my colors might
have a bit to much red in them. So I'm going to make a few more variations.
One will have a bit less red, and probably more accurate to the original
case colors, and the other will be based off the C64G color scheme. I will
also be doing a little more detail work to make them look a bit more
"real."
