Logos for the Pepsi software, by various authors. Pepsi was a software (“proggie”) to make ASCII art (“macros”) for AOL. It was made by cpride and dc, 1997-1998. Since AOL used the proportional Arial font, it wasn’t possible to use a standard ASCII art software.

More Arial ASCII and also here.

BB – a demo for Unix and DOS made by four Czech teenagers in 1997: Jan Hubicka, Kamil Toman, Mojmir Svoboda and Filip Kupsa. They made a notorious library for ASCII-conversion, AA-lib, which was later used for example in Hasciicam and VLC (see Wikipedia). They also made Aview that lets you browse the web in ASCII, ASCII-3D-2000 that creates stereogram ASCII, and more. It’s a similar spirit to the ASCII Art Ensemble.

From here.
