   I think you're talking about tumbling letters, like:

     __     ____         __   ____         __   __
    /\ \   /  \_\       / /\ /  \ \       / |\ / /\
   /  \_\ / /\ |_|     / / /| /\ \ \     /  ||/ / /
  / /\ | |\ \/ /_/_   / / / \ \/  \ \   /   |/ / /
 /  \/ |_| \  __ \_\ /_/ /   \  /\ \_\ / /|   / /
/ /\ ./_/   \ \ \/_/_\_\/     \ \ \/_// / |  / /
\ \/ |_|     \ \_\ /_/\        \ \_\ /_/ /|_/ /
 \__/_/       \/_/ \_\/         \/_/ \_\/ \_\/


   I've tried to do tumbling letters for 'Scarecrow' but there isn't 
enough room to do them well enough.  I guess I should try again.  It is 
possible to do it like:

   __      __      __      __      __      __      __      __      __
  / /\    / /\    / /\    / /\    / /\    / /\    / /\    / /\    /_/\
 / / /_  / / /   / /  \  / /  \  / / /   / / /   / /  \  / /  \  /_/\ \
/_/ / /\/_/ /   /_/ /\ \/_/ /\ \/_/ /_  /_/ /   /_/ /\ \/_/ /\ \/_/\ \ \
\ \ \/  \ \ \  _\ \ \/  \ \ \/ /\ \ \/\_\ \ \  _\ \ \/ /\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
 \ \  /\ \ \ \/ /\ \  /\ \ \  __ \ \  / /\ \ \/ /\ \  __ \ \ \_\ \ \ \ \ \
  \_\/ / /\ \ \/ /\ \ \_\/\ \ \_\/\ \ \/ /\ \ \/ /\ \ \_\/\ \ \/ /\ \ \  /
    /_/ /  \ \  /  \ \ \   \ \ \   \ \  /  \ \  /  \ \ \   \ \  /  \ \  /
    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/    \_\/


   But making them tumble uses too much space side to side.  I suppose I 
could make them tumble if I made them smaller, but I don't know if it 
would work out either.

   There are a lot of sigs I have made for myself that I have never used, 
because they didn't turn out the way I thought they would.
