I feel like ascii art loses something when it's not sized to a standard text mode (at least to width, like 132x132 is fine). At some point you're just using weird pixels and this is approaching that for me. Same goes for changing the color of the characters continuously; terminal colors are cool. I'm probably just a crazy purist

I actually feel like using color at all is cheating. I'm okay with a wider width than 132 px, but it needs to be sized such that you can clearly make out the letters, which I can't in the TFA.
