Wanted: Atari logo with Rainbow colors (for a LED project)

[Marsupilami]

Hello,

 

I am working on a personal project based on LEDs arrays and Arduino.

 

I'm looking for the Atari logo with colors that cycle over a dozen frames in 16x16 pixel format.

 

A bit like this one but in better quality and without the word Atari:

I tried to reduce this one but the result is ugly 😢

Do you have this? Or a Game/Basic program for Altirra that would allow me to output the frames to a few .png?

 

Thanks  🙌

I think your going to be disappointed with any reduction, there are not enough pixels in your display

to provide anywhere near the amount of colours required, even the one you have posted doesn't

have any Green in it, see the one @Beeblebrox has posted for the full colour range

Yes, I know, I don't want to have something 100% accurate.
I also thought about getting the TOS 1.04 logo but I couldn't get all the frames out.

I take it that this is for a little desktop light display item, there's a far more advanced version (depending on how advanced you make yours) on Adrians Digital basement YT channel, I really wanted one until I found out the price (talk about Executive toy prices), best of luck with the build, look cool already..

Yes it will be me a cool frame on my desk and a Christmas decoration  

Basically it's just 4 8x8 led matrix like this : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07Z7RGHNF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (40€/$)

Plus an arduino or an esp32 (around 5 or 10€/$)

So the budget is roughly 50$ maximum...and time.

 

It's still a work in progress but it's pretty good

Hey, that's really neat, sure the other thing I mentioned does a load more but it's like $300 iirc (so it bloody well should do)..

 

But yeah, really nice looking already..

My other half (knowing how obsessed I am with Atari), got me one of these last year:

 

 

Comes with a remote control for chaging the led cycle settings. Very psychadelic!

Niiice. I love the Alley cat, Rockford (Boulderdash), and Hero character animations especially. Nice work!

Very Nice (and lucky you) ! I must try to build one !  Again with an Esp32 with the WLED firmware and some Led...

@Marsupilami, what a great idea, it looks really nice. Below you can see my proposal for animated logo which I've just drawn for you. I used colors from PAL pallete used by Altirra emulator. You can use it freely in your project if you whish.

Alternative version with scrolled text.

Awesome ! Thank you so much @amarok 👍🙌

21 frames will be too much for the memory remaining on the Arduino but if i remove some other animations (like frogger, choplifter, tutankham) and if i use only 10 frames of your Gif (one out of two), it should fit.

Thanks again ! 😎

That actually looks quite good, do you know where your other half orderded it ?

@Mclaneinc

I guess the other ones you are referring to are these ?

Not those, it's a proper little lcd type thing (I think), those are nice tho..

I think finely graduated colour bars might look better on that 16x16 pic.  Although you'd only be seeing 1 or 2 colours at a time if using 8 or 16 luma levels.

Also, I think the Gauntlet techniquer is better - with the luma incremented then decremented for each colour rather than the lazy way that most games used which was just incrementing from low to high then moving to the next colour.

It is great. Unfortuantely Etsy UK (where she ordered from), doesn't appear to be listing it anymore.
