You can also experiment and make your own[1] using TerminalTextEffects[2]. I added this to my ~/.zshrc

    > /home/keeb/code/projects/login/motd.sh
Which has..

    #!/usr/bin/env zsh

    values=("bubbles" "slide" "beams" "rain" "pour" "synthgrid" "unstable" "poop")
    len=${#values[@]}
    index=$(( (RANDOM % (len - 1)) + 1 ))
    selected=${values[$index]}

    cat /home/keeb/code/projects/login/motd | tte $selected
Change motd to have an ascii art of your choice. Run it in a loop if you want :)
