I'm making a Link blanket (from Legend of Zelda).  Not mine, but this is similar - http://for-the-love-of-yarn.deviantart.com/art/Pixel-Link-Blanket-447297304


Anyway... I'm making that for my father in law, and I'd really like to take that idea and make a UO blanket for myself... can anyone think of terms to search for to get a pixilated picture of the UO logo?  Maybe there isn't one... but I figured if it's out there... someone here might know where to find one.  OR, does anyone know how I can take the logo and make it a pic with a bunch of squares?  I would draw it, but I'm a GM crocheter and knitter... no skills in drawing.  :)




Thanks, and sorry for the WAY off topic question.  :)

Would you want pixelated or just a grid overlaying the logo? Any particular version of the logo?

I was thinking pixelated so it would be little squares (as I crochet in squares, with one color for each square)... but as long as each grid was it's own color a grid overlay would prob work.  Any version would work... I do like the U over the O (like what's on top of the forums), but any version of that is fine.  :)

The size of the "pixels" is adjustable. How's this look?

I've searched for this for weeks now... where did you find it?

I whipped it up quickly in Photoshop. If you needed something much more fancy than that, I'd need to call in someone above my pay grade. :P

Take some photos of the blanket when you finish and share them here. Who knows, you may have some future business!

UO blankets jogged my memory. Here's a cool one styled after Exodus, one of the earlier Ultima games.

Oh how cool is that?  :)   Side question... is the Richard in the video Richard Garriott?

Yes, that is Richard Garriott de Cayeux, Mr. Ultima himself. The video was a celebration after successfully raising funds for his latest game through crowd funding.
