I think a cool 'logo' (as part of a rotation, not as the main one) would be a nod to the pioneers of the CPC - Alan Sugar, Roland Perry, Cliff Lawson etc - in the style of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe portrait. Especially if it was made from photos of them in the 80s.

I'm rubbish at art though, so it will probably just remain an idea in my mind :)

Are there any limitations? What size should it be? Does it have to be Mode 2 compatible :D ?

If you don't mind me asking, will there still be a home for the old CPCWiki Logo on CPCWiki? I kinda like it!  :-[  I guess it's the checkered theme which gives this site the edge where it brings the CPC Community together!  :)

You do? Is our logo our competitive advantage? :D

Well, if people like it then we will keep it...

I'm not sure, though it's probably not to our competitive advantage, it's probably just me being getting too attached to the surroundings and appreciating it!  :laugh:  I'm a bit of a historian which likes to see mementos from the past being retained though!  :-[  Open up a Museum for this old stuff!  :laugh:

Not this one? I just had an idea for it, though the size maybe a problem though that's why I use Spoilers these days!  :)  I may put a link to this on my site as well!

Yes, but I can send you the *original* and then you can flog it on eBay for crazy monies! :D

Unfortunately I've long lost the source files...

Ripped the HoH cover art and experimented a bit with PS (also abusing the default filters, I know it's bad, sorry about that :).

(I kept the .psd file if someone wants to improve the idea, because I wont. There's way too much colors, way too much pixels, it confuses me too much I want my Art Studio back! :)

Heheheh this is really cute :)

But why not port it to some pixel-lovin' art?

@Grim
All you need now is another logo of Heels! Brilliant stuff! ^_^

(FYI: I will always 'like' anything to do with 'Head Over Heels', my all-time favourite game of all-time. So if anyone feels you need a 'like'-boost, then produce HoH stuff!)

Won't really need the *Original* for this idea I had, I had another idea about tweaking it since I'm a nut for 60s stuff, but that defeats the purpose of my first idea!  :D

Why not creating a few logos and with a random code everytime a different logo appears?

Amstrad always pitched the CPC as more than just a gaming machine, so I think overemphasizing the gaming aspect in the logo is actually a disservice to what the CPC was all about. A cute character from a game would be appropriate for a site that is exclusively about CPC games but that is not the case here.

The existing logo isn't that bad IMO. The retro-futuristic font for "the CPC" is pretty nice. Also, the red checkerboard seems sort of fitting for the 80s. Vaguely suggests auto racing and the Amiga boing ball I guess.  :) The main problem is a poor font and text color choice for "wiki", which makes it too hard to read.

Gryzor, perhaps you could come up with some variations of the existing logo? Particularly a different font for "wiki".
