Congratulations to Carrion for winning Best Logo with “Bonzai logo“. (year: 2018, size: 800/400 interlaced x 200 pixels, palette: 16 colours, platform: C64 multicolor)
“This is the logo used in Unboxed – a demo by Bonzai in 2018 that took 2nd place at X2018.
The logo is almost 3 screens wide and made in Commodore’s multicolor native format with all color restrictions – ofcoz.
I wanted to do a graffiti style logo for long time and this felt like a good idea. The logo (letter O to be specific) releases to a demo part of spinning ball. The picture consists of boxes (because of the demo theme) and a mandatory Bonzai tree. Hope you like it.”

Congratulations to Cyangmou for winning Best Animated pixel graphics with “Soldier critical“. (year: 2018, size: 500 x 336 pixels, palette: 71 colours, frames: 64, frame rate: 24).
“This animation is a remake of the basic soldier class used in the Fire Emblem game on the Game Boy Advance (Fire Emblem:Rekka no Ken which released in the EU in 2003). Fire Emblem is one of the games which got me interested in Pixel art.
I am also a huge fan of medieval arms and armor (which played in a geat deal in the design process), much more detailed information can be found in the deviantart description.”
