I like it too.

My current one is a placeholder until I think of something simple,
recognisable, etc etc. It's been a placeholder for a long time.

Yours is simple and recognisable. It suggests to me someone hopping
fast, holding onto one foot. Or a bow tie on a stick. Or a badly drawn
star.

Heh. Interesteing how people perceive it.

It's my monogram[1]; it's a capital A and lower case b munged into a
form that can be written in one stroke. I use it a lot. I added noise
for the x-face as it looked a bit odd just 'plain'.

If you squint you could almost convince yourself my middle initial, P,
is in there too.

> Or a badly drawn star.

I've been experimenting with a version that looks a lot more like a
star...

[1] Is that the right term? One symbol to represent my initials?
