FWIW, I really prefer Erik's because the corners of the 'M' align so
perfectly with the centers of the gears. It says "Mesa is what makes
the gears turn" to me :)

In general I like your font better, but I don't think it can align
with the centers of the gears.

Also, Erik's is animated not with JavaScript at all, but just CSS.
That's really cool.
