Prejudice against orange + new design

Does the outside need to be AA'd and can that even be done?

(a logo I'm working on)
What program can i use to AA to transparent if that's possible?

Photoshop. Yeah I know it's pricy but it works wonders.

er, i'm pretty sure most image editing programs support alpha transparency, except maybe MS Paint or something.

ah they call that Alpha transparency?!  Alright thank you.

Gimp is a good program, but the two windows are kind of clunky in a window manager that doesn't tile or snap.

Which one is the logo?
I assume it's the one on the right, but the possible palette is kind or more interesting.

What I wonder is why you would do a logo like this with pixelart. If it will look more or less like that thing on the left doing it in vectors would take about 5 minutes and you would have very smooth aa, including alpha to the background.

Also logos will allways be converted into vectors eventually, since you need it to be smoothly scalable for differant uses (header, business card, poster, website design, merchendise etc). So having this perfectly raster rendered seems pointless?  


EDIT: I agree though the pallet is awsome.

Another possability would be to increase the size to like 4500x4500 pixel @ 300 dpi with the basic colors (no AA) so it acts as a bitmap (still PNG) and still with a filesize of  50 kb

Giving your image the bit depth necessary to have partially transparent pixels kind of defeats the purpose using a pixel art style.  Unless your going for that retro look, which I like.  But your AA is so smooth.  Wouldn't you be better off making it a vector image?
