Mistigram: this newschool #ASCIIart logo for Geekboy's BBS "Stupidmop" was drawn by Dead Soul in the style of his Mist ASCII colleague Weird, and was released in the MIST0897 artpack collection released 26 years ago this month.
Mistigram: this very crowded #ANSIart logo (which I believe does contain all of the letters, overlapping), was drawn by Handiboy for the Mistigris music HQ Atomique BBS, demonstrating its green-and-white colour scheme. It was included in the MIST0897 artpack collection released 26 years ago this month.
Mistigram: this nicely violet newschool #ASCIIart Mist logo was made for us by our onetime ASCII department head Weird. It was included in our MIST0897 artpack collection, released 26 years ago this month.
Mistigram: The Mistigris computer arts collective was established in the jurisdiction served by area code 604, and its activities remain coordinated from that region today. We still lean on the numerical designation to describe our turf rather than geographical features or political boundaries because it describes the realm of telephony in which local cyberspace activity was conducted over dial-up modems, our native element, even if most of our contributors are not regularly calling in to exchanges in this area any more.
This logo celebrating our native area code 604 (or, more likely, its onetime IRC chatroom channel) is a specimen of the "Photoshop filter" variety of high resolution graphics that filled artpacks like weeds in the late '90s (taking over the role of the "lit" that served as the pack-filling weeds of the _early_ '90s 8), cooked up by one of our more adept specialists in the practice, Lord of Darkness (later aka ewerx). It serves to clearly communicate its thesis: "Hi! I'm in ... cyberspace. (But I'm connected via area code 604!)"
