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)
GIMP Source files
-
/ GIMP Format with multiple layers for different drop shadows

- background - 1.2 mm height
- foreground - 4.0 mm height
- beam - "holes"
- cubes are slightly "oversized" by 1/10th mm for connected pixel mesh
- Import to OpenSCAD - see our OpenSCAD small projects page
- mesh rendering
- STL output

Eagle-Library
You can easily make a PCB-Logo in any size you want in eagle.
Just set your grid to 1/24 th of the desired height. (or 1/17th of the desired width).
Draw polygons for the logo on the desired layers.
If you use Top and tStop for the Orange Parts and tPlace for the white ones it might look something like this on your PCB (without the grid ofc):
