Line-Talk: Talker connect message

I'm one of the Admin of a talker, and I thought I'd post here and get some
opinions on the connect message we use. I'm undecided on it... :)
The original connect screen to the talker (ie the bit displayed just
before it asks for your name) was:
###### ## ##### ### ##
## ## ## ## ## ## ##
## ###### #### ## ##
## ## ## ## ## ### ###### ## ##
## ## ## ## # ## ## ## ## ## ##
## ## ## ##### ## ## ## ## ## #####
#### #### ###### ##

I liked the buildings on this one, but the text needed improving. A few
weeks later, someone gave me this:
___ggmmmmmms___ ,gmmm. ,_

So I, being the awful artist that I am, put a few buildings beneath it
and came up with:

What do you think? I'm not sure if it works or not. I'd appreciate any
suggestions you might have of ways to improve it. I like the big lettering
and I'd be reluctant to change that, but my buildings could do with some
work! The only thing that _must_ stay on there is the bit that credits
Simon Marsh as the creator of the original program we are based on, and
the copyright line. Any ideas? :)
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Wettone (aka BigRon)
