That depends on the colour choices. The Ascii-fied version of 
Mepha's controversial "Wizard" still did not look very clear because 
of the choices of colours but it looked better in a single colour 
(below)  

My own Caterpillar ANSI -> ASCII was still not great 
although I selected each Ascii character manually to get the 
clearest effect I could.
