Born from information files with
release notes from cracked
games comes the somewhat
infamous NFO art.
Usually, it's a one color logo
drawn with extended ASCII block
characters like █ ▄ ▀ and
shading ▓ ▒ ░. Sometimes it's
inverted - the whole document
filled with █'s and then the
graphics removed as white space
in the document.
Here's a little two character
version of a logo:

One of the most iconic NFOs designed, the Fairlight logo by JED, even
made it onto t-shirts...
