OpenAI Codex T-Shirt Interesting Back?

For those who got the OpenAI Codex T-Shirt from participating in the Codex contest, I received mine today, and the back of the shirt is a bunch of b’s, 8’s, 9’s, and quotation marks.

Is that just for aesthetics or is there a meaning to that?

It’s more than likely that they simply used those ASCII characters to best represent the OpenAI logo. For example, the following characters inside the quotes represent the top half of a semi-circle: “.d8Pb.”

If you go to https://openai.com/ and view the source code of the page (or F12 in Chrome), you’ll see that same ASCII logo:
