The black and white rendition here really does not give it justice. Run the command yourself so you can see the wicked colors they use.
Now if you ask me, this is really awesome and I need to have this for myself. Searching around, I found an old GitHub repo by Bryan Jenks containing the bash script they use to generate their curl card.

Their bash script makes uses of tput from the ncurses library to set the terminal colors. Adapting their script to include my information, and I now have a curl card of my own!
