One friend and me are developing 8bit opensource DIY Gameconsole.
Something like Gameduino, Uzebox, Hackvision but with case and ...

Author of coolest logo will gets one game console for His art work plus 2 x LCD keyframes powered by 6502cpu!!!
Plus all can join our team. We already have tile/sprite editor in JAVA.

Here is old early prototype...

Final version will be:
20MHz 8BIT Risc CPU
144x144 x 16 colors
2xbeeper synth (later wavetable synth)
SD-Card
VGA / Composite
PS/2 Keyboard
acrylic enclosure
c language+API (for coding games)
price: under 10USD/EURO

Here is our JAVA tile editor:

Soon we will have official webpage.
And I will upload here B/W game console namelogo for pixel coloring too.

Here is prototype project webpage but we will have another name, not AVGA (AVGA is codename, or platform like PC):
http://avga.prometheus4.com/

Here is game console palette (please use this palette for logo):

I'm no graphics artist, but I would love to help you out developing this thing. I also have a question, are they going to have ATMEGA328's, or are you sticking with the 168's?

Our game console will have this resolutions

We use hardware palette (very EGA like).

LOGO
We will need:
1.) Game console BOOT screen "Wizard" character logo (low-res pixelart 144x144 will be best)
2.) Pixel or vector Website "Wizard" character logo (vector/SVG or hi-res pixelart)
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
FORUM will be for RETROWIZ developers, coders, pixel artists,chip musicians etc etc.

I can. You just need to wait a while. I'm swamped with Art School and I'm doing some designs for Justin Thursday. I can probably do something for you by this Sunday or next Tuesday. send me a private message and we can talk out the specifics.
