Hi all,

Not ascii art per se, so just tell me if this is too off-topic.

What is a good way to rasterise (draw) the stylized M (/\), as in
(\/)yrkraverk for the favicon in my (still not very much of) ascii art
site

  http://www.myrkraverk.com/ascii/

?

My own attempt can be seen on the site, or you can look at the image
directly with

  http://www.myrkraverk.com/ascii/favicon16.png

I had to cheat, and make the ( ) taller than the /\ to keep them from
touching -- to me, it feels too squeezed.  I just hope it still feels
somewhat ascii art like.
