I can understand your concern but that's not intended. We use figlet univers and it is provided by them.

Anyway, we could change that 88 for something similar but BB is not as symmetric as 88 and HH could sound even worse.

I see your point looking at possible alternatives I see we're fucked:

Maybe Q 9?
