Carty - Generate BIG text art signs
While making Tarty I found a series of really cool big artful text writings. You can see some amoung my text art collection. It had a really great idea of big text signs made out of symbols with some symbols being borders between 2 letters. I advanced this idea even a step further. I though it would be even greater if characters would get into each other's regions. Of course, it won't do too well in some cases, so you can always chose to disable my "Combine closer", but in most cases it rocks. Also, there is two ways to write these bordering big characters - with single, and double-border symbols. And, going further, I thought I should provide an option of either making huge or just big text. What I mean is a difference between:
╋╋╋┏┓
╋╋┏┛┗┓
┏━┻┓┏┛
┃┏┓┃┃
┃┏┓┃┗┓
┗┛┗┻━┛
───╔╗

╚══╝╚═╝
I spent more than 15 hours coding and debugging this generator. I also had to ask 2 of my friends to help me with it. It looks like what I finally made - Carty - is worth those lonely hours. By now I couldn't find any better text art generator anywhere on the web.
Other generators
As for other cool generators on the internet - there are some pretty-looking ones, but what they generate can't be put on Facebook and other websites. They all use blank spaces to separate the symbols, and those spaces are always just ignored. View 3D text art signs on Text Art for Facebook, Myspace and Google+ to see what I mean. The only case when they aren't ignored is when you set up the <pre> tag like I did on my text art page.
Characters
You can type characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and :,.!?)(" '-+=. I think they're all you might need. Symbols, my carty uses are: ━┏┛┗┓┃┫╋┣︱┻┳ and ═╔╝╚╗║╣╬╠─╩╦ .
