I'm fine with fun things like ASCII-art as long as it's not publicly
visible in the HTML source like that. Don't do things like this for
brand promotion though. Do it for fun. And, put it in
functions.php or style.css.<br>

WP has a long history of Easter eggs. Even Kubrick has its own
thing (scroll to bottom):<br>

I even dropped a quote from one of my favorite shows in my last
theme for fellow sci-fi nerds.<br>

</div>
<div>I've been reviewing a theme that includes a
large ASCII art comment in header.php. I
imagine that this is not acceptable, but I
can't seem to tie it to a specific
rule/guideline. Here's the file for reference:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/dc_genomics/1.0/header.php"
target="_blank">https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/dc_genomics/1.0/header.php</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this in fact violate any of the
requirements? And if so, which one?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
