The '\' characters are being treated as escape characters. Use the r prefix to treat it as a raw string literal

print(
       r"""
         _____       ___       ___  ___   _____
        /  ___|     /   |     /   |/   | |  ___|
        | |        / /| |    / /|   /| | | |__
        | |  _    / ___ |   / / |__/ | | |  __|
        | |_| |  / /  | |  / /       | | | |___
        \_____/ /_/   |_| /_/        |_| |_____|

         _____   _     _   _____   _____
        /  _  \ | |   / / |  ___| |  _  \
        | | | | | |  / /  | |__   | |_| |
        | | | | | | / /   |  __|  |  _  /
        | |_| | | |/ /    | |___  | | \ \
        \_____/ |___/     |_____| |_|  \_\

        """
     )
