Here's what I've come up with, and 80% close to how I'd like it, but I'm sure a few here could draw something close, but better. It's all about symmetry and swooshiness.

MAKE IT BETTER.

The math text book one is more epic.

Yuppers. Plus it actually loolks like letters. I hate it when bands have logos that look like randoms lines. I keep trying to stare harder to see the sailboat.

I'll pay you $25 if you make it look how I want. Band name is INNHYLLE (side project), and you can see the basic idea of what I'm going for. I'm looking for a straight-up old school black metal logo in the vein of Lo-Ruhamah, Weakling, Summoning, Wolves In The Throne Room, etc... which I'm sure you've never done before but could no doubt come up with something, especially since I've given you 90% of what I want. It's all about "swooshiness" and symmetry.

For reference,

(I don't have any more to offer than $25, so if it's not worth your time, I understand...just let me know)

Attached is what I've come up with and essentially what I want. Basically, if you could make it more symmetrical around the edges and tweak it a little it'll be exactly how I want it.
