I'm really new at this, so I can't give you any good suggestions.  The
ME looks good, but the MATHIAS is difficult.  I can't see the "T". 
Maybe you could make the top of the "T" a little longer (from side to
side)?  Good work.

I think it's pretty solid, it's the 3rd ASCII ive ever made...
Looks a bit better in notepad than woth the Courier New font. Just check it
yourself. If you like it...grab it.
:)

PS: Is it lame of me to put my name under that?.....just new here..so don't
know all the rules yet.

Hi folks,

I tried to put my name "Mathias" into four netiquette-conforming
ASCII-Lines for sigs.

,-.  ,---.

short sign "ME"

Any suggestions? I think at the moment some characters can be
read only hardly... but if possible, the characters should overlap
and look a bit more "solid".

Thank you! This alternative looks good and IS more solid!

This is something i realized too: My attempts look better with
"Courier New" while your attempt looks better in "Terminal"...
So I couldn't resist "re-working" your suggestion to rounder shapes
which can be seen better in "Courier New" ;) I also "linked" some
characters:

 .-.   ,-. ,-.|"""""|,-, ,-----. ,-.   ,--.
 |  \ /  |/ _ \"| |"/ �-� ,-..-'/ _ \ ( .-�
 |   V   | / \ \| |/ ,-, / _||_/ / \ \_\ \
 |_|\_/|_|/   \_ _/_/ /_/ |_____/   \____/

I'm relatively new here too ;) but I think the use of short signs is prefered
because they can be put easier into artworks.

Thank you Laura, Ingo and "Spawn" for your suggestions!

Laura, you are right, the "T" is a problem! In my reply to Spawn's
posting you can see, that it's still hard to handle...

I like your three line version, Ingo!

Veronica Karlsson informed in a recent posting about figlet servers.
There I found a nice four-line ascii version of "Mathias" in
"bulbhead" style:

 __  __    __   ____  _   _  ____    __    ___ 
(  \/  )  /__\ (_  _)( )_( )(_  _)  /__\  / __)
 )    (  /(__)\  )(   ) _ (  _)(_  /(__)\ \__ \
(_/\/\_)(__)(__)(__) (_) (_)(____)(__)(__)(___/
