When using ascci mode to display the gentoo linux_logo (#3) the classic logo (#2) ascii version is displayed.
The gentoo.logo file does not actually have a plain ascii format in it, it uses the classic logo. I'll flash up an editor and see what I can do -- no promises though.
linux_logo-4.05-r1 committed to cvs. linux_logo -L3 -a now shows an ASCII Gentoo logo.
