Change ASCII art and 'Welcome to FreeBSD' text on bootloader?

Hello,
I am new to FreeBSD and I do not know a lot about it.
I would like to know how to change the ASCII art and the 'Welcome to FreeBSD' text on the bootloader.
Is there a way?

To show a text on console before the user has logged in you should edit /etc/issue.
It is not well documented on FreeBSD but I know it works, at least, on 11.2 and CURRENT.

And you can use misc/figlet to easily do something like this.

Look into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to see some of the options you can overrule (don't edit the file though, edit /boot/loader.conf instead).

Anyway, the logo is made through /boot/logo-xxxx.4th (the default being used is logo-orbbw.4th) whereas the text is defined in /boot/brand-fbsd.4th and the whole menu is set up in /boot/loader.4th, all of which are text files so they can be edited.
 
Code:
dice@armitage:~ % grep "Welcome to FreeBSD" /boot/*.4th
/boot/menu.4th:         drop s" Welcome to FreeBSD"
