I have to disagree. I've seen a lot of useful examples of fancy console logs:
"We're hiring" messages on many commercial websites to advertise to developers.
Facebook's ASCII "Stop!" message, warning users if someone has told them to copy-paste something in the console they could be hacked.
On developer portfolios. Their audience is most likely other developers who may inspect a page to see how they've built something. It's a nice Easter egg, and something that may make them more memorable to a recruiter.
Yup. Anything that can be programmed will be programmed. The console is something web devs are allowed to code against, so you sort of have to accept that they'll want to do so with the full extent of their creativity, regardless of the main intent of the feature.
This is a cool gimmick, but the console is meant for debugging and utility. Keep the fancy in the web page please.

LOL. True.
You have some good points. But they should still be an exception. This just reminds me of the days of blinking status bar and title bar text. :o)
I do not see why the fancy can’t help with debugging and utility and still be fancy and fun.
How did you set this cookie icon?
Hi Luis, the cookie is an emoji.
Chrome supports emojis since version 41.
Here is a list of all supported emojis.
Thanks ;)
Great Tips. especially for Hiring New developers just like Medium did 😀
It's funny, thank you
this be useful by using different colors for each section of your code, for example, red for the API query code, blue for the animations
Haha
That's funny
Going to implement that om my portfolio
This is fun. I'll use it to make important debugging messages pop but also as you described. No harm and plenty of fun.
