His name is not "Gosta", it's "G�sta" (NOT the same thing! It would be
like calling Krogg "Kregg", or "Kragg"...).

(ok, not as pretty, but it saves a line)

Actually, I don't think the sig is half bad to begin with ... perhaps a
bit big ?:-)

Removing two lines and reducing space between the letters (makes the "G"
a bit less clear, though).

--         _    _ 
   .-==-. (_)--(_)   .-===-..-===-. .-=-.
  /  .--' / .--. \  (_ .---'`-. .-'| .-. |
  \  `-' |\ `--' /.---'  )    | |  | .-. |
   `-==-'  `-==-' `-===-'     `='  `=' `='

Doesn't the second letter look a bit like the face of something?

Filling in some more.

--         _    _
   .-==-. (@)--(@)   .-===-..-===-. .-=-.
  /  .--' / .--. \  (_ .---'`-. .-'| .-. |
  \  `-' |\ `^^' /.---'  )    | |  | .-. |
   `-==-'  `-==-' `-===-'     `='  `=' `='

Well, just a suggestion.
