ASCII art | Google search

There's a small trick over at Google: when conducting search regarding "ascii art", Google's logo turns into ascii art version! That means that the image is reconstructed from ASCII characters. What is ASCII or what are ASCII characters, by the way? ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange or in other words the characters you normally see on our keyboards. Our daily smileys or emoticons in messaging evolved thru ASCII art.



One of the main reasons for the ASCII art was born, because early printers often lacked graphical capabilities, and the combination of characters are used instead of the graphic images. Ascii art was used for printing large banners.
