The Retr0bright Project

He's now updated the blog.

And added the note at the bottom:

Update: I originally referred to Merlin as the alter-ego of David Watts. In fact, David Watts is another member of the UK Amiga Community; Merlin's real name is David Stevenson (I've now corrected the story to reflect that).

I'm supposed to be doing a weetabix style logo i assume it's for this (merlin)

however i can't find a weetabix font i'm also toying with the idea of a soap box with
RetrOBright a bit like the old Radion box if anyone remebers that!

it's not finished yet infact i need AGAIN - sigh a good retro font i'm sure harrison pointed me in the right direction ages ago but can't remember now.

Remember it's a work in progress

I wanted L33tabix really.... maybe with a 'Matrix' style box with the cascading symbols.... lol

Nice work on the box mate; what did you use to create that?

Wow, that's really great that it's taking off, would be good for it to spread to other applications! Let's hope the word really spreads!!

@Merlin could always do a Dvd Case with the Matrix style logo (i guess the font would be easier to find than the weetabix font )

Used Xara Xtreme as always m8!

Sounds like you want it in a Vegemite jar.

Guys, it's gone completely mental. I am getting enquiries from Lego forums, toy collector forums, fruit machine restorers and all sorts. I've seen discussions in Land Rover and Alfa Romeo forums, old telephone collector forums and the list goes on and on.... we have really created something special that appeals to so many retro communities and they all really appreciate that it is totally free.

I never expected this at all; I just wanted to potter about in our little shed in the corner of the Internet. I guess that's the true power of the Net at work.

As Zetr0 will tell you, I am shocked and humbled by what has happened and am struggling to cope with this new found l33tne55.

Meanwhile, work continues at Muppet Labs to perfect this technique.....

The funny thing is that picture might not be far from the real duo! Give the professor a little beard and it could easily be Zetr0!
