Make your own custom logo
There are are several sites like this one http://patorjk.com/software/taag/ or http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ where you can easily generate your own text logo in many shapes and sizes. Here is just one:
######## ## ## ### ## ## ######## ## ######## ## ## ## ## ## ### ### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### #### ## ## ## ## ###### ### ## ## ## ### ## ######## ## ###### ## ## ## ######### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ######## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ######## ########
One use of making a quick custom label is to make a logo of the name of the machine. Especially if you manage many servers, a bold machine name showing up when you login is a nice reminder as to where you are.
