I prefer this to the old, as it is much cleaner - it's looking good, while the old one to me looks unconsistent, blurry and simply poor quality. Nice warm colors. 2014-02-09 16:43 GMT+01:00 Bill Y. : > Thoughts, comments, feedback. > > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwJ-TpACk7OsZ0JwRjRwd3pwR

I've been thinking about the idea of using the case as the model for graphics, and I think there's some fundamental things missing from any of the current drafts. Firstly, some things that have already been discussed, such as texture, etc. Secondly, the knobs and buttons would have to be done in

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 comm
