My new series of emblems in three different sizes
Now some vertical ones as well

MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)It's the astrological sign for Scorpio
Denninmi
(6,581 posts)Even more appropriate then.

(13,869 posts)my 2¢, fwiw
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)I'm probably going to scrap the vertical one altogether

(7,875 posts)I might try Moving the "r" in Mr just a touch closer to the "M". I see the corner of the arrowhead is about dead center of the r- but to me it makes the letters look too far apart. Maybe have the corner of the arrowhead and the corner of the r touching catty corner? Just a suggestion.
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)I took your suggestions and made some changes
Check 'em out

(7,875 posts)Now the r and the M aren't on the same baseline. What software are you using?
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)Not the easiest thing to use
The M is a Wingding and the rest is Arial Narrow. That should account for the difference. But I can't adjust the grid settings on this program

(7,875 posts)Does it have draggable guides?
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)I'm trying a diagonal version now, since the vertical version is a bust
WhoIsNumberNone
(7,875 posts)And did you create the M yourself, or did you download it from somewhere? Can you send me URLs?
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)the rest is Arial narrow
They came with the iMac

(7,875 posts)Actually those new ones you just posted have some pizazz- but feel free to use these.
MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)Tell me what you think of those

(36,286 posts)I don't think the Ariel Narrow is the way to go. It seems too bland to my eye for this purpose.
Also - I think you need a space between the r and the S.

(8,747 posts)(1) Really don't like the mixed upper / lower case. I think it would look much better with all upper case, but with the M and S in a larger size. The I should have discernible cross bars. If you have to go with another font style do it.
(2) Don't like the vertical at all.
(3) Do Like the color pallet, very easy on the eyes.
(4) Most people are going to go "Why does the M have a tail?" You are going to have to keep explaining that is the sign for Scorpio. I would ditch that, and keep the Scorpion.
