The arrow gives it some extra pizzazz.

It's the astrological sign for Scorpio

Even more appropriate then.

my 2¢, fwiw

I'm probably going to scrap the vertical one altogether

they all keep me calm. I would listen to you.

Understated but to the point.

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.

I took your suggestions and made some changes


Check 'em out

Now the r and the M aren't on the same baseline. What software are you using?

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

Does it have draggable guides?

I'm trying a diagonal version now, since the vertical version is a bust

And did you create the M yourself, or did you download it from somewhere? Can you send me URLs?

the rest is Arial narrow

They came with the iMac

Tell me what you think of those

Tell, what don't you like about that one.

I want the same scheme that I'm using for my avatar, Merlot and tan

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.

(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.
