Well, I was fooling around with a text editor the other night and came
up with this... if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know...
The R and L I think need the most work

This gives the advantage of linking the E and M (and perhaps the L?) and giving a little more depth. gre...@phantom.com ___ ___ _____ ____________ _________ __ ___/ /___|____ |: \ /: / __ )/: ______ \|: |/ ___/ / ___\___ \|. // / . __/_. _// ___/\/ . \ /_|__ |/ \ . // / \_ | / \ // \ / \\ / // \ / \_________;| \______\____|\ /|____/___/__\____|\ / |__|___/ \/ \/ Hmm. While that made the EMLIN more even, it destroyed the R, mostly. The M is now a focal point, and very weighty. (Part of the problem with the R might be that it decends too far.) gre...@phantom.com ___ ___ _____ ____________ _________ __ ___/ /|___|____ | \ / / \/ ______ \ / ___/ / ___\___ \| / / __/|_ / ___/\/ \/ \ /__|_ |/ \ / / \_ | / / \ / \ / / \ / \__________|| \______\____\ /____/____/__\____|\ / |__|___/ \/ \/ I shouldn't have messed with the M. It doesn't dominate now, but it doesn't match the N. Is the G supposed to be heavier on top that the other letters? (I removed all of the highliting so I could see the shapes more clearly. This cleaner look allows more flexibility of the R, and the right side of the R needs less work since you can't see it behind the E.) gre...@phantom.com ___ ___ _____ _______ _____ _________ __ ___/ /|___|____ | \ / ____/| _ \/ ______ \ / ___/ / ___\___ \| / / \_ \ / ___/\/ \/ \ /__|_ |/ \ / / | / / \ / \ / / \ / \__________| | \______\____\ /____/____/__\____|\ / |__|___/ \/ \/ Now to add back highliting. gre...@phantom.com ___ ___ _____ _______ _____ _________ __ ___/ /|___|____ |: \ / ____/| _ \/ ______ \ / ___/ / ___\___ \|. // // \_ \ / ___/\/ \/ \ /__|_ |/ \ . // // | // // \ / \\ / // \ / \__________| | \______\____\ /____/____/__\____|\ / |__|___/ \/ \/ Unfortunately, most of the verticals are so occluded that the :.. highlight only works on the N.
