Quick! Get the torches and pitchforks!
]]>Before I invest some time on it, does a place or a package like this already exist?
Programs with Arch Logos:: archey, alsi, screenfetch.
]]>Yes that is Windows, and yes, that is what it has been optimized for. More specifically, this ASCII art looks best when viewed with Courier New. It's not a free font and you may have to modify a few characters to make it look good with your favorite font. There are two versions, one with a blank logo as shown above, and one with a filled logo which I'm not too terribly happy with. The filled one might look better on a white background.

Replace the occurances of \e with the ASCII ESC character, using something like echo -e, to get it printed properly in the terminal with colors. The "\e[H\e[2J" code clears the screen.
