Why the screen looks that way (no brand and no logo):
You were caught in a small window of broken-ness.

Window was between:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=280933 <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=280933>
and
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=281002 <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=281002>

A window of approximately 2 days.

As for why the screen got wonky … well… your comp and my
comp don’t agree on ANSI sequences. I’ve reverted the offending
changes so that we may once-again agree on ANSI codes. ;D
