The Activision logo was just the 6-digit-score trick but with 
arbitrary graphic data (the logo) substituted for the digits.  
Without flicker, I don't think there's a way to get graphics of 
that resolution to cover more than 48 out of the 160 pixels 
across the screen when you're using the TIA.  Hence the Dark 
Mage and Suicide Mission approaches.
