The image, I think, you're talking about is in the /boot directory (slack.bmp), but unless you have an X server running at login, it's not really going to be available to you.

Is there certain ascii art out there you're talking about? Anyway, I'm not sure if the below is what you're looking for, but hopefully it'll work.
I did a quick mockup using this site (font is Roman, but you can select "All" to see all of them and find one you like) and got the following ascii characters for Slackware. This site also does ascii art and can also base it on pictures, but I think the first is much better for text.
Then you just add them into your .bashrc with a way to display them. So, in your .bashrc, you'd want to have the top line contain cat << "EOF", then the ascii art, followed by a final EOF
If you want screenfetch, I verified that it works in a vt. Download screenfetch from slackbuilds. For all users, create a file, and place it in /etc/profile.d/
Otherwise you can put in users .bashrc
My /etc/profile.d/screenfetch.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Display screenfetch for interactive shells:
case $- in
*i* ) # We're interactive
echo
screenfetch
echo
;;
esac
EDIT: I really like the way bassmadrigal's solution looks in a full size terminal!
