I've decided to play with this sig to see if I could address some of the
comments made.

Here's the original:
                                                               ________________
                         |                                    /
         /|              |                          /|       /
        /       __   |\  |                         /        / __       _
       /     /|   |  | \ |  /|   /|  /|  /| |\    /__   /| /    |  /| | |
      /     / |   |  |  \| / |  / | / | /_  | \  /     / | \_   | /_  |/
      \____/__|   |  |    /__| /  |/  | \__ |_/  \____/__|   \  | \__ | \
                     |                                       /
                                                            /
___________________________________________________________/


And here's a slightly modified version:

                         |                                     _______________
      /|                 |                           /|       /
     /       _____   |\  |                          /        / _____     _
    /     /|   |     | \ |  /|   /|  /|  /| |\     /__   /| /    |   /| | |
   /     /_|   |     |  \| /_|  / | / | /_  | \   /     /_| \_   |  /_  |/
   \____/  |   |     |    /  | /  |/  | \__ |_/   \____/  |   \  |  \__ | \
                     |                                        /
_____________________________________________________________/


This makes the sig a little easier to read by changing the appearance
of the letters 'A' and 'T' to make them a bit more legible, and puts
more space between the words, again, for the sake of legibility.  This
version is also slightly smaller top to bottom (8 lines long as opposed
to 10) and left to right (78 characters long vs. the original 79).
Although the changes to the 'A' and the 'T' affect the general idea of
continuity within the sig, they adhere to the concept of linearity
fairly well.  And I think the new 'A' matches the 'E' pretty nicely.  :)

Anyways, these are all just suggestions... take them as you wish.
