e-7E1 METRO SIGN looks too funky

[GoogleCodeExporter]

e-7E1 METRO SIGN looks too funky, in my opinion. Please change it to look 
more like a bounding-box-filling M, like what DoCoMo's symbol looks like.

The present METRO SIGN glyph is the actual design of the Tokyo metro logo - see

Hmmm... Using the actual logo seems good, except we might get into trouble with 
trademarks. We already removed the Mobile Q symbol from the proposal. We should 
discuss this with the group and decide whether we should keep the current 
glyph, or 
make it more generic like DoCoMo's, or withdraw the symbol.

There are Japan Metro photos showing an M in a circle. e.g.

Could this be used as the fall-back image if the TradeMark logo needs to be 
dropped?

The plain letter "M" is used in other countries, so it would be less 
locale-specific. 
Is that an advantage or a disadvantage?
