Pick a style
Choose a style that matches your brand or context: block, rounded, thin, or script-like ASCII. Consider where you’ll post the banner—websites, READMEs, or chat apps—and keep the line width reasonable for that medium.
Generate the banner
- Open Text ASCII Art.
- Enter your phrase (shorter is stronger: 1–4 words).
- Select a font style and alignment (center is a safe default).
- Adjust width if lines wrap on your target platform.
- Copy the output and preview it where you plan to use it.
Make it portable
Store your favorite banners in the Online Text Editor. Keep variations for dark/light backgrounds and different widths. Export to PDF via Text to PDF if you need to include banners in documents.
Platform-specific tips
Websites and docs
- Wrap in code blocks (pre tags) or use a monospace font.
- Keep line length under ~80 characters for desktop and mobile readability.
- Surround with simple ASCII dividers to frame the banner.
GitHub and README files
- Use fenced code blocks (```) so spacing stays intact.
- Keep the banner narrow to look good on mobile GitHub views.
Slack/Discord/Chats
- Use triple backticks to enforce monospace.
- Prefer short, tall banners over super-wide ones to avoid horizontal scroll.
Design polish
- Pair banners with simple borders (====, ----) or corner markers (+ +).
- For images, place banners on a solid block using the Drawing Board.
- Keep contrast high—dark letters on light backgrounds or vice versa.
Examples
- Project launch: “LAUNCH DAY” with a thin divider above and below.
- Event title: “GAME NIGHT” in block style, centered.
- Team banner: “ALPHA TEAM” with left alignment for report headers.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my banner wrapping?
Decrease width in the ASCII tool or reduce characters per line. Wrap inside code blocks where possible to preserve alignment.
Can I colorize the banner?
Yes—export as an image and add color accents in the Drawing Board, or place on a colored block behind the text.
Is ASCII accessible?
As text, it’s generally accessible, but also provide a regular text heading or alt text describing the banner’s content.
