Make your own custom logo
There are are several sites like this one http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ where you can easily generate your own text logo. 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.
