Aspies For Freedom

When putting together my avatar, I put the infinity sign in italic.  Here's the reason:

For some reason, if the infinity sign is symmetric along a vertical axis, it looks somewhat like a tandem swimming tube, or like an unusual kind of seat cushion.  Not enough width-to-height ratio, and it looks like a butt.  Not particularly striking.

But giving it an italic slant seems to fix that, and make it look simple yet elegant, more reminiscent of the infinity signs I'd see in my old calculus textbook.  Striking, but not too threatening.

Just thought I'd share that.  Thoughts, comments?

I had not noticed that, but now that you mention it .... yeah.

I think it is a really cool avatar with a lot of thought behind it. It says a lot about you.  Mom

It's always the smallest details that make a big difference. I think the Infinity logo for us should be italicized or slanted. It wouldn't look to plain as it does now.
