kontena_logo

kontena.io had a competition for an ascii art banner for their 1.0
release.

This is their old banner:
 _               _
| | _____  _ __ | |_ ___ _ __   __ _
| |/ / _ \| '_ \| __/ _ \ '_ \ / _` |
|   < (_) | | | | ||  __/ | | | (_| |
|_|\_\___/|_| |_|\__\___|_| |_|\__,_|

I tried mimicking their hexagonal logo. The first attempt was higher
than the allowed 10 lines:

0         ,-'-.__/  \ _/  \__/  \_     K
1      ,-'     '-.__/  \ _/  \ _   .   O
2   ,-'        ,-i-.\_ /  \_ /         N
3 i'  ,-i      | |  'i \__/    _   \   T
4 |   | |    ,-' |   |_   \_./   _     E
5 |   | | ,-' .-'    | \__/   _ /   .  N
6 |   | ''   '-.     |_/   _           A
7 |   |  .-''-. 'i   | \__/  \. /   _
8  '-.| |      | |,-'__   \ _/  \
9     ' |      | '__/  \__/    _/
a        '-.,-'__/  \     \__/

So I submitted this:

1          ,-'-.__/  \ _/  \__/  \_     K
2       ,-'     i- __/  \ _/  \ _   .   O
3    .-',-i     | |'-._ /  \_ /         N
4    |  | |   ,-' |  |  \__/    _   \   T
5    |  | |,-' .-'   |__   \_./   _     E
6    |  | '  . '-.   |  \__/   _ /   .  N
7    |  | .-' '-. i  |__/   _           A
8    '-.| |     | |,-'  \__/  \. /   _
9       ' |     | '  \__   \ _/  \
a          '-,-'     Copyright (c)2016 Kontena, Inc.

I also played around with a filled version of the logo:

0        .xXXx.
1      .xXXXXXXx.
2   .xXXXXXXXXXI='x.
3 .XXXI='XXXXXX|  XXX.
4 |XXX|  XXXXI='  XXX|
5 |XXX|  XI=' .xIXXXX|
6 |XXX|  '    `IXXXXX|
7 |XXX|  .xXXx.  'XXX|
8  '=X|  XXXXXX|  X='
9        XXXXXX|
a        '=XX='

1          ,xXx.__/  \ _/  \__/  \_     K
2       ,xXXXXXXI= __/  \ _/  \ _   .   O
3    .XXI='XXXXX|  Xx._ /  \_ /         N
4    |XX|  XXXI=' .XX|  \__/    _   \   T
5    |XX|  I='  .xXXX|__   \_./   _     E
6    |XX|  '   `=IXXX|  \__/   _ /   .  N
7    |XX|  .xXx.  `XX|__/   _           A
8    '=X|  XXXXX|  X='  \__/  \. /   _
9       '  XXXXX|    \__   \ _/  \
a          '=X='     Copyright (c)2016 Kontena, Inc.

Finally I also submitted this:

0     |XXXX    |XXI='   .xXXXXXXXXX
1     |XXXX    |='      '=IXXXXXXXX
2     |XXXX                '=IXXXXX
3     |XXXX       .xIx.       |XXXX
4     |XXXX    .xXXXXXXXx.    |XXXX
5     `=XXX    |XXXXXXXXXX    |XX='
6        `=    |XXXXXXXXXX    |'            K O N T E N A
7              |XXXXXXXXXX
8              `=XXXXXXX='
9                 `=I='   Copyright (c)2016 Kontena, Inc.
