       So, I'm trying to come up with a maker's mark. I want it to look cute but also somewhat techie, while at the same time functioning as something that is easily recognizable when small and easy-ish to stamp, engrave, or "digitally stamp" on a slicer..So I came up with this design, which hopefully shouldn't need explanation, but it is some sort of a mashup between a classic maho shojo wand (obvious sailor moon inspiration here) and a wrench.What are your thoughts, fedi? Will it stamp/engrave well? Is it unique? Is the mashup obvious? Do the proportions look pleasant to your eye? Throw me your best feedback#maker

       @nadianever would've thought it's a Maho Shoujo wand, but I've never watched/read anything from that genre so that's probably expected...

       @wolf480pl That's good to know anyway! I'm probably missing some detail that helps bringing that to mind.Does the top moon look like a moon to you? Or does it look "just like a wrench"?

       @wolf480pl Got it, I probably need to make it more moon-ish somehow.

       @nadia the wrench head should be thinner to look like a crescent moon I think and having a star at the bottom and a thinner handler could make it look more like a wand

       Kay, this is rev 2 incorporating some suggestions. The handle is a bit thinner, the hex profile is slightly bigger and leans a bit more horizontally, and the handle now has two decorative outer rings that _hopefully_ should make it more wand-shaped. I'm not sold on those yet tho, but I can't figure a simpler shape that adds the same whimsicality.

       @Eigrest @nadia as you can guess from my Display Name.. I used to watch sailor moon a lot. But I did not get the mashup either. Maybe disrupt the hex-wrench pattern a bit more and add another side of the hexagon, ie: unable to slide on sideways anymore. And I concur to thinner look. about the small ring: feels like more detailed then the rest of the shape.. maybe shape the handle concave? compare to the design and add elements you like: https://sailormoon.fandom.com/wiki/Moon_Stick?file=Moon_Stick_Anime_Design_1.jpg

       @hotaru @Eigrest That's good insight, thank you! I don't think I want to compromise on the "functionality" of it by adding another hex side, but the concave handle is a solid idea I think. I gave it a swing here, what do you think? Does it resemble it more?

       @karotte Always, has been my go-to since 1.1. Tried it because "solvespace with chamfers", stayed because it's fucking awesome ❤️

       @wolf480pl How's the latest version looking to you? Still just a wrench?

       @nadiadefinitely a wand, not sure if a moon one (to be sure, I'd have to forget what it's supposed to be before lookng again)
