MIST0897/DS-0897A3

 Mistigram: the truth is out there!  This trippy coloured newschool #ASCIIart login screen for the Raven's 'the Dark Domains' BBS was drawn by Dead Soul and included in the MIST0897 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.

MIST0897/MU-ECHO

 Mistigram: It's a very striking and distinctive way of rendering the drawing of a logo upon the screen, ripping in layers as though it's been embossed into Jell-O. How did Neosmurf do it? Was it just a matter of clicking some radio buttons in Kai's Power Goo? (The history of artscene hirez suggests: Very Possibly!) In any event, this promo for wat0r's Echo crew was included in the MIST0897 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.

MIST0897/IV-0897a

 Mistigram: this wriggly monochrome newschool #ASCIIart logo reading 'Ill Bred' was drawn by Jive and included in the MIST0897 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.

With … quite a bit less of a story behind it, the following day’s Mistigram piece was this mad scientist hirez by Grinch, originally released in August 1997 and intended to be thrown up here following Happyfish’s ANSI art test tube before… life intervened.

Today on Mistigram, another kingly piece of ANSI art from a familiar face in these parts, Quip, the dynamo whose ceaseless revolutions generated impetus for Mistigris nearly singlehandedly for the final year and a half of its “Classic” period. You’ve seen him mint logos by the ton, and no less so here, with a great green glowy oozing ANSI art font that just happens to be the mere preface to a consummate rendition of that most artscene of subjects, a comic book babe. (In its original incarnation, the piece continued along with a closing logo for the Mistigris WHQ BBS The Jade Monkey, but due to the proportion restraints imposed by Instagram for this particular series, we have cropped it. But go on and see for yourself, if you care that much! It appeared in full in the August 1997 Mist artpack.)

Today’s Mistigram Mist logo is an ANSI art one from the desk of Quip – surely our most prolific forger of Mist logos – originally appearing (in the infofiles) in our August 1997 artpack.

Today on Mistigram, a seemingly effortless clean, clear, crisp newschool ASCII Mist logo by Weird. Offset on a single-column slant and awesomely purple, she made it look easy. Originally released in an infofile in MIST0897.
