I really struggled with the main symbol.  I tried to find something that
filled the space and gave the font the most "connected" look, especially
on vga-text 80x25.  For some reason, I found the '$' pleasing.  Maybe it
was subconscious, I didn't realize the connotation until you mentioned
it. ;)  If you so desire, just "cat gentoo.asc | sed 's/\$/%/'" or any
other character.  '%' was runner-up.  

Cheers.
