A monogram/logo for Joel

My good and dear friend Joel liked so much the monogram/logo I made for myself and use in place of a photograph/avatar on Yahoo! Messenger, that I offered to create one just for him.

Truth be told, I had long been planning on making a logo for Joel and initially thought I'd make one similar to my logo, using arches as the main motif. But just before I retired for the night yesterday, a completely different idea came to mind. I began working on it as soon as I got up early this morning and totally surprised myself by completing it within half an hour:

After regarding it for quite a while, I've realized that it resembles Tiger Wood's own monogram or else looks a bit like a Swastika. Just when Joel is no big fan of Tiger Woods and is such a staunch Roman Catholic. And then it seems that there's something there that one could consider a phallic symbol. Hmmm... at least none of that was intentional

Anyway, I plan to give it to him as one of my going-away gifts when he leaves the University at the end of the month for greener pastures.

I definitely hope he likes it.
