For the ASCII email announce­ment for the chmod +x art fes­ti­val I decided to stick to same prin­ci­ple as for the main logo.
Take the make art logo, cover make, write chmod+x.
make art’s orig­i­nal ASCII art had to be slightly mod­i­fied so the make could still be read. For the art­work I used JavE.
