REQ: Linux penguin logo
alt.ascii-art
· 6 messages · 28 Feb 1998 - 4 Mar 1998
Hello,
Can I persuade some of you to try and make an ascii version of the Linux
penguin? It can be either outline or grayscale (if you catch my drift),
and may be fairly large.
A picture of the official Linux penguin can be found here:
http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/sit3-shine.7.gif
Maybe someone can ascii-fy it?
Joan Stark has a version of the penguin on her website at:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/birds.htm#penguin
But that's not quite what I'm looking for. I think it's less 'cuddly'
than the one in the GIF picture.
Any takers for enhancements or own tries? Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Arjan Opmeer

I think I already mentioned this version in my original posting. Don't you think is has something of a 'gazing stare' look? Maybe because the eyes are rather solid while the rest of the lines are more dotted... Anyway, maybe if you make it a bit larger some of the other features come out better too? The intended use, if I may use it, of the picture is for a login screen, not a signature or other place where it must be fairly small. So you may make it almost a full screen high. Any other people who want to give it a try? Thanks in advance, Arjan Opmeer

Solified, higher, fatter and a less 'gazing stare' : a8888b. a8888b. d888888b. d888888b. 8P"YP"Y88 8P"YP"Y88 8|o||o|88 8|O||O|88 8' .88 8' )a8 8`._.' Y8. 8`._.' Y8. d/ `8b. d/ `8b. dP . Y8b. dP .

No, that's _no_ 3D but a way to compare the two different versions (big eyes, small eyes). The proportions in most windows-fonts are not quite right but it should be perfect for a login screen. I hope you like _this_ one. :) It's not really cute but I guess quite close to the original - which isn't really that cute after all. Anyway I'd be proud if I can add something to a linux related thing. :) Andreas ) ( \-/ ..=V=..

'.__ )----'\__.-' `""` i think he looks more like a chicken now. has sort of a wide eyed look too. maybe it's an 'i can't beleive i just ate 12 kilos of herring look'... the 1st one could have a caption 'oh, no. i've eaten and i can't get up.' and the expression works fine. check dejanews under penguin and/or paenguins (don't remember which one. maybe w/ a search filter to just alt.ascii-art) and there's at least two versions of a bigger one been posted. they'd need work tho... hmm...
