Hey guys -

After lamenting the death of fidogazette and after many separate
conversations with other BBS users, I've decided to publish my own
newsletter in the BBS message echoes.

After much agonizing, I've settled on a name, "Echo Chamber Weekly."

After playing with figlet, here is a draft concept of the cover page:

_____ _ _____ _
|_ _| |__ ___ | ____|___| |__ ___
| | | '_ \ / _ \ | _| / __| '_ \ / _ \
| | | | | | __/ | |__| (__| | | | (_) |
|_| |_| |_|\___| |_____\___|_| |_|\___/

____ _ _
/ ___| |__ __ _ _ __ ___ | |__ ___ _ __
| | | '_ \ / _` | '_ ` _ \| '_ \ / _ \ '__|
| |___| | | | (_| | | | | | | |_) | __/ |
\____|_| |_|\__,_|_| |_| |_|_.__/ \___|_|

I guess yall are so creative and artistic with your ascii art that I
have to rely on an application to create some for me. What do you think?

Should it include a graphic of some sort to represent an echo chamber? Fidogazette had a dog holding a paper, which I thought was adorable. I
don't want to copy that idea at all, but I want something more than
this, if possible.

Would you suggest another, perhaps, font? Better spacing? I'm really not
very creative and the art I see in this NG is rather impressive from my perspective. I guess I'm asking for help.

I have conceptualized the cover page changing over time like one would
see on print publications.

If I use anything submitted in this thread on the cover page, the
person's handle or name (your preference) will get permanent credit on
the acknowledgement page. Maybe also a q&a interview on a future issue
if this interests you.

I guess that's all for now.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
