What font and what system are you using?  On a Mac, with Zterm font,
I'd arrange them like this:

                            ______________|\
        Decreasing Shading |______________  >
                                          |/

   .x%%x.   .mdbm.    .xXXx.   .++++.    .////.   .::::.
   %%%%%%   ######    XXXXXX   ++++++    //////   ::::::
   %%%%%%   ######    XXXXXX   ++++++    //////   ::::::
   "%%%%"   "9##P"    "XXXX"   `++++'    `////'   `::::'


And, switching to Courier, I'd reverse the % and the #...
