Request: Need a cool ASCII graphic for a FAQ I'm writing

alt.ascii-art · 2 messages · 17 Apr 1995
Greetings,

I am currently writing a FAQ for a 3DO game called GEX and would very
much like a cool ASCII graphic to use as a header.  I was informed by
Bob Allison that this is the place to ask!

What I'm looking for is something about yea-big:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
|                                                                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

That has something similar to the image that says GEX on:

http://www.ohiou.edu/~mcginley/gex.html

For those of you who don't have web browsing capability, it looks like
spray-painted capital letters (courier font) tilted up about 5 degrees.
The paint is dripping off of the letters.  GEX himself is a gecko lizard
wearing sunglasses.  I'd really like a picture of his head along side, 
but it's not critical.

Anyway, I would really appreciate this and of course would credit the
artist in the FAQ and try to compensate you in some way :)

Thanks!

Peace,
-Rich

Home Page (and other stuff).
