Tilted

How it started

This time, it started out with just the most basic shapes there is, a square.

Well, several squares and they're all tilted creating a dull pattern which can only be elevated by shifting those squares around a bit.

Having all the squares the same size was boring, so I've made 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3 ones which would also allow for a more mixed up placement. While shifting those tilted squares around, a curve showed up which then turned into an C. Ah! that's not a C that's gonna be a C=

Lunch breaks is over but the idea was there, even with some bells & whistles. The overall shape needs to be worked on though, but that shouldn't take long.

Back at home, some more tweaks getting the C a bit rounder. At this point, it was not only tilted but also shifted which IMHO created a really neat look, but in the end didn't work out with creating a big C= logo.

Here's two variants:

Now, let's unshift those squares again and call it a day.

Conclusion

Again, a very, very fast pic which maybe could be pushed a bit further, but then again, all it needs is there. Working with an instantaneously recognizable logo comes with a lot of benefits, and paying tribute in form of a PETSCII was zen.

Post release notes

Jep, missed a line there, front & center, but then again, it's front & center and thus not really where one's focus lies. Anyway, not sure if it was due to changing my output process (PETSCII Editor produces 10k files, so I've tried out other tools for creating a smaller .prg) or just the late hour. Here's how a fixed version looks:
