<br></div>My apologies for the unintended phallic imagery... That wasn't what I was<br>aiming for. I was actually just trying to use some different EE symbols to<br></div>reconstruct the `M` and the `A` of EOMA. I was using the list of symbols<br></div><div>from the following reference.<br></div><div><br><a href="http://rapidtables.com/electric/electrical_symbols.htm">http://rapidtables.com/electric/electrical_symbols.htm</a><br><br></div>I think the offending symbol you are referring to is the `OR` symbol.<br><div><div><div><div><br></div><div>Just to better explain what I was aiming at, I took some colors to the original<br></div><div>symbols to highlight the individual letter representations.<br><br><a href="http://i.imgur.com/jjUbFx5.png">http://i.imgur.com/jjUbFx5.png</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>In the color coded (first) version the E is in red, O is in blue, M is in green and A is in pink.<br></div><div><br>> By the way, I think these are the best logos I've seen on this list.

use this basic logo concept to represent that somehow.<br><br></div><div>In both of the logos that sent out the `E` was actually supposed to represent an<br></div><div>EOMA CPU/passthrough card. That is why it looks like a squatty elongated E. I<br></div><div>represented the O in the way that I did as I wanted it to represent the PCMCIA slot or <br>housing that it fits into. So together the E and the O represent a modular CPU card<br>being inserted into a device/housing. For the first logo I was intending to show that <br>the specification provides an incredibly low level connection between the CPU card <br>and the housing.<br><br></div><div>For the second logo... I was thinking that I liked some of the ideas and imagery of the<br></div><div>first but that it was way too busy. Plus and end user might get a bit bewildered by it.<br><br></div><div>Oh and I have one more general comment about logo creation of this sort... I think that<br></div><div>it is very important to make sure it will look good rendered in only black and white because,<br></div><div>that is essentially what it is going to look like when the logo/certification mark gets <br>silk-screened onto a product.<br><br></div><div>-Mike<br>
