Today’s liberated prisoner from the oubliette of time is this ANSI art Mist logo by Gasol, released in our March 1998 artpack – tiptoeing up to the edge, with textmode art at that point an increasingly rare breed. The logo is interesting for its close focus excluding the implied lower half of the S, and also for the use of yellow as a high-intensity highlight on white-coloured letters. This is a logo that’s telling us a story, I just don’t know what that story is.
