Is this what you saw in the magazine?  Though it's not so small.
It is the final screen from the SPINWEB animation that I did a
couple of years ago.  You can finger spinweb@twinbrook.cis.uab.edu
and see the animation IF (<-- that's a big 'if') your finger client
doesn't filter out escape codes (and some do.)  If finger fails,
then just telnet to twinbrook.cis.uab.edu port 79 (DON'T FORGET
that port number, 79) and when you connect, just type: 

spinweb

followed by a carriage-return.  If that doesn't work, watch the
animation group and I'll re-post the original animation in a few 
days.

Also, I did a reduced version in this style as the banner for
the webNews project <http://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu:70/webNews.80>
which has been published several places.  It lacks the dangling
tired old WebSpinner, though.

Oh, when you visit the TWINBROOK site, check out the ASCII Art
Bazaar <gopher://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu/1asciiarc.70>.  It hasn't
been updated in awhile, but still contains quite a bit of vintage
typograms.
