I think it’d be pretty cool to have the top 3 be selectable options for a banner. Maybe even a randomize option, though that wouldn’t be as simple to add.

Hi @L0crian,

I really appreciate your input! While implementing a randomize option may require some additional development, it’s definitely something worth considering for enhancing user experience in the future. We’ll definitely take your suggestion into account. Thanks again for your input!

Cheers,
Joe

ASCII Artwork Submission!

Hi all, Here are my submissions. I tried to stay close to the current VyOS logo and made some variations in font type. I’ve kept the current login text which is currently distributed with VyOS and made sure the logo fits within 80x25 characters space, including the text. To ensure the variants work in various circumstances I’ve tested them with multiple type of terminals. They all seem to work good in multiple terminals. I only noticed minor changes like the blocks having a little spacing in …

3rd place: None?

@Apachez, As outlined in the contest details and rules, we have designated only one first-place and one second-place winner. We have another contest in the near future.

Wow first place, thank you all who voted for my submission! And thank you VyOS team for organizing, I had fun creating it.

I wouldn’t mind if it can be the default or as a selectable motd

Very nice to hear that I made it to the 2nd place! Thanks everyone for voting. And congratulations @yun on making it to the 1st place, a well deserved winner!

@red123nax, you had my vote. Your third options was super clean. If you don’t mind, can you put the ASCII in here?
