We have a need to create many screens of corporate logos to put onto our
computers that have been donated to our organizations.  This is a new concept
for us and we are looking for an easy way to do it.  Our donated computers
are never in Windows, only DOS, so we need to use the ASCII method to display
these corporate logos.  Any ideas?

Get the GIFs or BMPs of them and convert them to GIFS (Bitmaps that is) and use a converter then touch it up.
