Feeling kind of sick still, and antisocial. Holed up in the cluster messing around with illustrator. It was totally empty for a couple of hours and then a guy came in for a while, but now he left again. Bliss!

I leaned more towards the suggestions to make it more letter-like after all, and made liberal use of tom7 fonts, which are the max keen.
