d o
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy e
i t ggggg r ggggggggggggggggggggg
yyyyy
s yyyyy tyyyyy

basic outline of the font, i prefer when you connect the letters like I did
above .. it saids distorted
step 2 .. rounding/shading
,a@a,
yyyy.yyyy.yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyya, yyyyy
S S.. :iS.., S Sa,

Sld., ,aSllS PllS PiiS SlllS .,a y,. PllS iiiii,
SSS .,dSS ,dllS SSS ,SSS SSS, .,dSlllS
gggggggggSSSgggS ggggggSgggggSSS
ok, this step includes 2 things.. rounding and shading .. for the rounding.. i
always use, .,aS or even sometimes .,a@S .. and also S .. also, to round up the sides a little, you can use that Pd trick i use as seen above.. shading
is very simple with ascii. the basic shading order i do things is .ilS ..
step 3 .. spiffying
,a@a,
yyyy.yyyy.yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a,a yyyyyyyyyya, :
S S.. :iS.., S Sa, a,a

Sld., ,aSlS PllS PiiS .,a y,. PllS ii,
SS .,dSS ,dllS a,a ,SSS SSS, .,d
gggggggggSSSgggS ggggggSggggga,a

spiffying can include the bullet holes i made,as well as various s ans s all
over the place .. other various things can be found ..
step 4 .. coloring
,a@a, :
yyyy.yyyy.yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a,a yyyyyyyyyya, :
S .S iS.., S S Sa, . a,a
.,yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy P , ...
,i i .,dii i gggggggggggggggggggg:: :
lip ,iS:i ,liii .Sa, i liiil yyyyy :iSa,
Sld., ,aSlS PllS PiiS : l .,a y,. PllS ii,
S ,dSS ,dllS a,a S ,aS SSS, .,d :
: ggggggggSSSgggS ,aSggggggSggggga,a :
. .a,a ::
: a,,a :
coloring is very easy, but colors such as brown and yellow can get much more difficult .. i like to highlight colors on the top and bottom as you can see
here ..
step 5 .. backround
,a@a, :
yyyy.yyyy.yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a,a yyyyyyyyyya, :
..... S..S iS.., . S . S Sa, . a,a
. .. .,yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy P.: , ...
,i ..... .. . .i .. . . .,dii i gggggggggggggggggggg:: :
lip ,iS:i ,liii .Sa, i liiil yyyyy :iSa,
Sld., ,aSlS PllS PiiS : l .,a y,. PllS ii,
:: : S,dSS ,dllS a,a S ,aS SSS, .,d :
: ggggggggSSSgggS... ,aSggggggSggggga,a :
. .a,a ::

an important aspect to any logo is a backround, it helps it out alot.. in this
type of ascii,you would wanna do the backround a different color than the font
.. and if you want do what i did, make the backround two blending colors ..
step 6 .. finishing touches
,a@a, :
yyyy.yyyy.yyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a,a yyyyyyyyyya, :
..... S..S iS.., . S . S Sa, . a,a
. .. .,yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy P.: , ...
,i ..... .. . .i .. . . .,dii i gggggggggggggggggggg:: :

the only thing finishing touches really include is adding your sig, the board
name and a possible border ..
