Hm, I don't like the look of the 'globe', what about

            .o.
         .'     `.
        /   ..    \
       |oooO::::.Oo|
       |O8O88o88O88|
        \888O88888/
         |`-----'|
         | | | | |
jgs/VK   | |(/)| |
         | |[_]| |
         `-.___.-'

Well, what do we have here? A parking meter:
            .-.
         .' ... `.
        / ,'.. /. \
       |o  '  /`  o|
       |88o.d8b.o88|
        \888ooo888/
         |`-----'|
         | | | | |

a:f      | |[_]| |
         `-.___.-'

            | |
            | |
            | |
            | |

Anyway ...
