    I know what you're reffering to but this is different. What you're talking about uses random characters... this kind is using specific words.

    It's text art of some kind, but not ascii...

    ASCII art has no color, and no lines other then those naturally occurring in the text itself.

    Don't know if graphic designers have a particular name for this style, but it looks like it could be done with a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop.

    If you check out alt.ascci-art they'll all agree it's not ascii-art, as there are drawn lines, and colored text, even altered text, as some characters have multiple shades of blue.

    With that, the Amercian Standard Code for Information Interchange is in capable of such "art" as it breaks the standard. To be true ASCII art, it needs to be nothing but plain text.
