Customize Your Ubuntu MOTD

There was once a time when I was enthralled with Linux; Building Gentoo from scratch, customizing every possible configuration for optimization,  compiling binaries and such. I’d spent hours perfecting my ANSI MOTD using carefully placed escape sequences. It was beautiful.

But the novelty wears, and as I fell to the dark side of precompiled binaries, my motivation toward fancy MOTDs waned as well. Here I will show you a simple method of presenting colorful ANSI logos at login in Ubuntu.
