I think there should be a way to remove the welcome message, or at least the emoji from it. Not everyone has an emoji-capable terminal with bitmap support.

I found a solution good for all: remove emoji package and add (in the near future) some ascii art instead of emoji, so this will bring support to everyone on every platform and keep this package “fun” as it should be.

You could find a new version on pip. I close this issue, open a new one if there are other problems. 🥂
