So, this is my monogram. Of the two I did, this is the slightly more modern looking one. I like it, though I'm not completely satisfied with it. I used a base font from dafont.com, called enrealhorns for this.

With the coloring I attempted to represent shine on the top letter (representing my first name) and one of the two bottom letters (my second middle name) the reason I did this to the right bottom one is because the shine effect is angled to the top right so it flows more accurately.

I also put a gradient on the top and bottom left letters to give them a linking effect, like the top and right. I decided to keep the central letter plain to visually separate it/make it different from the others.

The positioning of the top "A" representing my first name is supposed to signal significance. The positioning of the "G" and "B" (representing my middle names) is left to right and on the same line, as things are read in the English language. This shows that they are off equal importance but the "G" does come first.

Finally I used a smaller "A" to represent the sir name as opposed to a larger one, in an attempt to make it significant in a different way, I decided to keep it central though, so's to pull everything together. I also attempted to make it appear linked behind the "G", in front of the "A" and indeterminable with the "B, as it would appear to be placing certain significances if it wasn't ultimately balanced. I think this connects it and draws it together quite well.

And the shadow is just for fun... or if you want a real reason... um... let's see, I feel it gives the appearance of a structure more so, giving the sense of a clearly defined hierarchy in a physical sense, what to do with the positioning and all.

Blah, that's all I can think of.

Oh yeah, and I just like red and black, looks strong and such.
