We will need:

3.) RetroWiz text logo (vector/SVG or hi-res pixelart) - I will send you my (two colors) text logo and you can colorize it and dither it.

Soon will be RETROWIZ.COM/FORUM online

Hello.

Here is our AVR project we are working since late 2011.
It is something like Raspberry PI but 8bit / retro game console.
It is based on Jerry´s AVGA platform.
(He is also behind all RetroWiź hardware, HW designer).
I am WWW and FORUM admin, enclosure designer.
We call our platform RetroWiz. (from "Retrocomputer Wizard" or "Retrogaming Wizard").


CAN SOMEONE COLORIZE, DITHERING and PIXELISE THIS BW LOGO?

Hi, I’m interested in doing some pixel work for you.
I’m an experienced pixel artist and have created assets for a variety of projects.
I have worked for amateur game makers, start-up companies, various flash game sites, and even a few people more established within the industry (people who have worked on among other games Deus Ex, Unreal and Burnout).
You can find examples of my work here…

What sort of budget do you have for the logo?
Email me at matwek@hotmail.com if you're interested

You could use my 'Space Wizard' avatar >_<
Not sure if I want to use the company name 'Space Wizard' any more. Thinking of going back to just me 'Suese'

Ouya is very nice. We are smaller team than Boxer8.
And we are not running crowdfunding. But in future we want
use ARM in RetroWiz2 too... But we doesnt want to make another android platform. RetroWiz is more like Nintendo NES. And RetroWiz2 will be like SNES or PSX1.
We want keep it minimal, low priced and retro!

Sweet :)

the c64 palette would have been better than the dos one, but i guess it's ok

As 2d artist, I'd be glad to help.
