      @tronkyfran That's the original VIC20 with correct colors and logo:
      0_1477997489849_VIC20.jpg
      I had one so I can confirm ;-)

      This old ad shows also side and back views ; with not so common logo top left and correct logo as a sticker in the middle over the keyboard (sticker didn't exist on actual machines afaik..)
      0_1477997564185_Shatner_Vic20.jpg

      High-res details of they keyboard in this image.

      If you need an svg Vic20 logo I can provide it.

          @tronkyfran thank you for creating the image !
          What software do you use for making the 3D models and rendering ?

            Mainly 3dsmax, and rendered with Corona Render. It could be perfectly done in Blender, but Im more comfortable with my old friend max. And a heavy touch of photoshop after the render, of course!

              Vic-20, dont know if I will modify this to make it better yet, but here it is anyway ;)

              I'm not sure if I got the logo right, I made the "Commodore" part like silver, and maybe its white paper.... ¿?

                @tronkyfran Impressive model; looks great, thanks!!
                Yes, Commodore logo was white.
                If I may suggest some fine tuning (and if you have time for it): vic20 logo perspective in the first image looks a bit strange but maybe it's just an impression; original function buttons' color was slightly lighter (almost sort of orange).

                  Still working on the vic20, but I had this done long time ago. Didnt posted because emulation is far far away for this console, but hey, you never know....

                          @tronkyfran I never realized how clean the snes controller looks without the "ABXY" letters near the buttons. Nice job with these images. Hope to see more!

                            Glad you liked it :D

                                  @tronkyfran sounds brilliant to me. They can also be alternates for the main backgrounds if people are so inclined

                                          Have you seen RetroEngine on Facebook? Looks like someone's going to try to KS some kind of hardware running Emulationstation with this theme.
