One of the very few e-mail signatures that I don’t consider a complete waste of space is ASCII art. This is because getting a signature where letters form a picture or cartoon-like figure is not easy and difficult to get right.

If old-school ASCII is your thing, there is a Java application (runs on any OS that supports Java such as Windows/OS X/Linux) called JavE that is a full GUI-based ASCII “image” editor.

In the video above I show you how to get it, use “fonts” within it and how to convert images you have into ASCII text for use as an e-mail signature.
