I created a Hurd boxes logo with color this time:
- https://codeberg.org/provectus/Hurd_Artwork/src/branch/main/other/hurdlogocolorascii.txt 
- https://codeberg.org/provectus/Hurd_Artwork/src/branch/main/other/coloredascii.png <https://codeberg.org/provectus/Hurd_Artwork/src/branch/main/other/coloredascii.png>
A minor issue I have with doing a colored Hurd logo and outputting it to a terminal or tty is that the borders of the boxes has to be dark, so making it contrast more difficult than it would be with FreeBSD's red logo. Making a text file output color is also more on the programming side of things, so it is also more up to the dev to make and add the color. Unlike the original ascii logo, I just used hashtags to fill the inside of the boxes to make the insides white.
