REQ: Mush title screen needed

I wish I was talented at ascii art, but the brief attempts I've made have 
been nothing short of disastrous ("What is that you made?!").. So I am 
hoping someone will be able to assist me. I need a title screen for a 
mush. I will briefly describe it and give a few ideas in which the 
direction could go.

It's a fantasy based game, during the Renaissance period. The title of 
the game is Essence of Lore - and briefly, the message the theme provides 
is we live our lives surrounded by these legends and stories of intrigue, 
of adventure, of heroes and creatures who walk amongst us unknown. So in 
that, we have tied some of the out of character theme to being in a 
storybook.  

So basically we'd like a title screen that has Essence of Lore in ornate, 
yet readable letters. How they are placed, we don't really have a 
preference. Some thoughts we've had for pictures around these words are a 
book, opened or closed, an island with the tower of a castle rising from 
it, a full moon with hazy clouds in front. 


These are just a couple of ideas. Any help that could be given is very 
much appreciated! If you send us something, please be sure to give us 
either a name or an e-mail address so that you can be properly credited 
for your work (or just include it somewhere in the picture)


Thanks in advance!

Not my own work... Don't know who's... 
Attempted some lettering but gave up in frustration!
