I love this! Thanks for showing some of the tools for making a console message too.

It's not an Easter Egg, but you reminded me of Facebook's console message:

 .d8888b.  888                       888    
d88P  Y88b 888                       888    
Y88b.      888                       888    This is a browser feature intended for 
 "Y888b.   888888  .d88b.  88888b.   888    developers. If someone told you to copy 
    "Y88b. 888    d88""88b 888 "88b  888    and paste something here to enable a 
      "888 888    888  888 888  888  Y8P    Facebook feature or "hack" someone's 
Y88b  d88P Y88b.  Y88..88P 888 d88P         account, it is a scam and will give them 
 "Y8888P"   "Y888  "Y88P"  88888P"   888    access to your Facebook account.
                           888              
                           888              
                           888

Thanks for the tips! I really enjoy visiting a site I haven’t worked on for years (left the organisation) and discover that my Easter eggs still work. Eg. entering “remove yellow logo” and “restore yellow logo” in the searchbox on sandvik.coromant.com/
