In my version the forward slash (index finger) has a much smaller angle/opening with respect to the comma (thumb) compared to using a forward slash with an underscore. I used the comma for the thumb, and not an underscore like the above versions, since the thumb is usually not angled that much from the index finger in a usual Vulcan salute. Specifications: This version uses backward and forward slashes to represent the pinky and the index finger, respectively, while the capital letter ‘V’ represents the ring and middle finger. The following are my two versions with specifications describing them and how they are made: My version 1 This next one has one version similar to the above art, while the other version uses a “les than” symbol ‘<‘ to introduce the thumb (source: )Īs I’ve mentioned, I’m quite displeased with the above Vulcan salute ASCII art and so I created my own versions. This one involves an underscore followed by 2 forward and backward slashes (source: ) _\//

Some of the Vulcan salute ASCII arts I’ve found are the following: they don’t really look very much like the real salute (of course this is obviously a subjective thing).

I mention appeal because the Vulcan salute ASCII arts I’ve seen so far are not so convincing, i.e. Now I’ve been looking around the Internet for a Vulcan salute ASCII art that really appeals to me. As you all know, a lot of people, creative in art or not so much, create and use ASCII art ranging from the complex (machines, sceneries, human faces) to the trivial ones (faces, smileys: 😉 (^)_(^) d(o)_(o)b ).
