A new approach on the Hackerspace Frankfurt logo design.
Design pattern
- Pixel-by-pixel edit - traditional 8-bit Pixel-Art
- reduced color palette - 3 colors
- Large pixels, 5x5 or 6x6 magnification
- no smoothing, no anti-aliasing
- no dithering
- Outlined with dark background
- Background shadow
- second layer, using #282828 background only
- GIMP Gaussian blur - radius 4 × pixel-size (20 for 5x5 pixels)
