ASCII art branding for maybelle, hunter, and arthel #336

Description

@magent-cryptograss

Overview

Create ASCII art logos/banners for the three main cryptograss infrastructure components, consistent with the existing MAGENTA logo style.

Current State

MAGENTA has a logo in workspace/magenta/README.md:

███╗   ███╗ █████╗  ██████╗ ███████╗███╗   ██╗████████╗ █████╗
████╗ ████║██╔══██╗██╔════╝ ██╔════╝████╗  ██║╚══██╔══╝██╔══██╗

The other projects need similar treatment.

Components Needing ASCII Art

1. Maybelle

  • What it is: The bus! Also the CI/CD container orchestration system
  • Named after: Maybelle Carter, mother of country music
  • Where to display: Container startup, maybelle-config README, deployment logs
  • Suggested style: Could incorporate musical/bus imagery subtly

2. Hunter

  • What it is: The Hetzner VPS (5.78.83.4) running multi-user development containers
  • Named after: Robert Hunter, Grateful Dead lyricist
  • Where to display: SSH login banner, VPS management scripts, hunter docs
  • Suggested style: Could reference writing/words/poetry

3. Arthel

  • What it is: The main website/NFT codebase (formerly justinholmes.com)
  • Named after: Arthel "Doc" Watson, legendary flatpicker
  • Where to display: Build output, README, npm scripts
  • Suggested style: Could incorporate guitar/music references

Design Considerations

  • Use same block-letter style as MAGENTA for consistency
  • Keep width reasonable for terminal display (~70-80 chars max)
  • Consider adding small decorative elements that hint at namesake
  • Should look good in both light and dark terminal themes

Files to Create/Modify

  • cryptograss/maybelle-config/README.md - Add maybelle ASCII
  • cryptograss/arthel/README.md - Add arthel ASCII
  • Hunter VPS /etc/motd or login banner - Add hunter ASCII
  • Possibly container startup scripts for display on boot

Acceptance Criteria

  • Maybelle ASCII art created and added to maybelle-config
  • Hunter ASCII art created and added to VPS login
  • Arthel ASCII art created and added to arthel repo
  • All three are stylistically consistent with MAGENTA logo
  • Display properly in standard 80-column terminals
