I've seen the debian linux logo in ascii art sigs 4 or 5 lines high
before.

I am using ubuntu linux and was wondering if anyone here has made/seen
similar?

The logo can be seen here:

It's hard, hey? I am hopeless at ascii art - check out my attempt:

it's got a lot of tricky curves on it that
are hard to capture in a small size but
maybe...

. -o.
o(
' -o'

.mmm 88(O)
d8" Y8
(O)8 ..
Y8. .m8
"Y88 88(O)


;;;;(8)
.::. '''';;;.
:::' ;;;
(O)::
:::. 888
'::' ...m88Y
'888(:)


these could probably still use some tweaking but i
think they is a good start.

Thanks mate. I like the first one - simple enough for a sig.

A variation?

,_O_.
O( )
'-O-'

_O_
/ \
O( )
\_ _/
O

Nah, they're terrible.

Am I the only one who thought immediately of FP's nudes?

Yes?

Ok then.

Yup. Though, maybe, I should contact the SXEmacs people about doing
an ascii logo for them?

Was my question worded that poorly? I don't understand the nude
reference, although I have seen FP's nudes posted here.

See my sig below for something along the lines of what I was/am after
- thanks to umrain for the bulk of it.

Not sig size. 10 lines each but was very curious about
the angles umrain mention in line sytle instead of the
solid sytle.

I liked these best - nice work - though I'm thinking it would be more
true to the spirit of ubuntu to have each person look different -
something like

.-.


_..(:::)
.'\ `-`.

/ \\_... '
.-. . '.__|

(|||)| __
`-` . ' |

\ /._..-' .
`// .-.'
LGB `-..( )
`-`

Or any of the many possibilities.

How about widening the other two gaps? It still feels a little heavy on
the right to me, though, and the circle in the middle isn't quite a
circle yet.

Nice! In case you don't know/remember me, I was the OP this thread :-)
I've been following it, but nothing to add while you guys do your thing.
I can't believe you took it all this way, and just wanted to say how
awesome you've done fine tuning it.

Thanks.
