THE 'NEW SCHOOL ASCII ART' is a
form of textmode art that uses
all of the text-based characters
available to produce logotypes
and art.
The 8-bit character set used on
the IBM PC gave us the following
characters.

IBM's Codepage 437 character set
Sometimes the borders between
new school ASCII, ANSI, and NFO
art are blurred. Especially
since many artists drew colored
new school ASCII, and then, by
definition, made it ANSI.
However, from my perspective,
NFO art primarily uses block
characters, while the new school
ASCII art uses nearly every
other character.
Compare the logos below with the
ones on the NFO page.

The new school ASCII here is all
done in pure text, without ANSI
codes or colors, and represents
what I think is a creative use
of the characters that were
available to us.
There are a lot of ASCII art
generators on the web, but the
results they produce seldom come
close to the quality produced
by the hands of a skilled
artist.
