Hello Stefan and Lucyna -
Yes. Thank you, Stefan, too...smile...Fun to look back in time!

Let me take your signs one at a time, Lucy....First, let me go back  
to the sign for FORD for one moment, to show you that there are  
actually two ways to write it, although one is preferred...so your  
original question, about writing the symbol to the left instead of to  
the right, was a very good question! Technically, you could place the  
symbol to the left of the beginning position, if you chose painting  
the path of the baby finger, rather than the thumb (as I  
did)...Please read this entire attached diagram...it is a little  
long...but the FORD sign is at the bottom...Can you see how the  
beginning poistion is always written at the stem of the arrow, and  
the ending position is always at the arrowhead...the end of the  
arrow?...your signs continued next message...
