There's certainly room for improvement here, yeah.

I tried to get the gears lined up, but when throwing animation of them
on top, it gets a bit harder. Perhaps if I modified the M a bit... ?

interesting. I just wanted to share what I did so far, and check if
the animated gears idea had the right of life ;)
