[PIC] Spaceballs logo and doodles

I thought I'd better post this before I forget about it.
The logo is not made by me - It's the logo for the old
Amiga demogroup Spaceballs - They made it.
I just wrote it down (I only had an image to work from) and converted it to
pure-ascii (It was in extended ascii/ANSI format)

I really like it .. It would make a good font, but making it smush right would
be a nightmare.
I was experimenting and doodling to see if I could imitate the oldskool scene
style of drawing ascii.
AFAICT oldskool is mostly drawn with only 3 char's : / \ and _
Only straight lines and most are slanted.
Here are some of my oldskool doodles :
( I tried to make space balls .. whatever that is )
