It would be nice to keep the \infty somehow, possibly in the background.
However, notice that the
combination of O anc C almost comprise an infinity symbol. Any way to combine
them enough to result
in a dual purpose combination? To be read both as OC and as an \infty depending
on how you look at
it. It also helps that the super T sets of the OC before it already.
FWIW, I like the forall, making sense to both those who know what it means and
those who don't but
can still see it is meant to stand for an A.
The e is the last letter to have a special purpose. Eaton comes to mind. Any
way to make an
attribution here?
