Well done, Mr. Moose! The image has been added to our gallery
here.
I've often wondered what binary operations on the data (i.e binary AND, binary OR) would produce. Moose's result set provides the equivalent of an AND operation if you convert the blocks equal to 3 to a 1 and the rest of the values to 0. To get the equivalent to an OR operation, you convert all non-zero values to 1. Performing each of these operations produces two "new" sets of banner dots:

I dropped these new data sets into my binary analyzer program and set it to decode ASCII in four different ways. I turned up a big nothing, but am providing the data for proof/reference. I also grouped the data into 7-bit bytes, performed the same eight decodings, and also got nothing. If anyone really wants that data I can provide it as well.
Below are the ASCII conversions of these new sets of dots, assuming 8-bit bytes. Values in brackets ([]) are within the ASCII range but are non-printable. Values in braces ({}) are outside the valid ASCII range. Valid ASCII values are decoded into the corresponding ASCII character.
