Punctuation Flaming Challice

OK, pregnancy gets the creativity flowing in weird ways... I was looking for a graphic for the order of service for the worship I'm helping with this coming Friday evening (yes, ON Garvin's 30th birthday... he said it was OK months ago). Poking around Google Images I wasn't finding anything that really struck me beyond what I've already seen, then this thing popped into my head:

It's actually constructed from a minus sign, two question marks (rotated and one flipped on the horizontal axis) and an exclamation point (which I shrunk down to be a bit shorter than the original font size but the same width).

Symbolically, it's how many of us come from a base of negativity (negative sign); grow into open and questioning mentality (question marks with open space in the middle); and then discover our own truths to proclaim (exclamation point). (Serena, do NOT comment just to correct my punctuation, I'm typing in a hurry!)

Unbiased opinion of my own work... my mind goes a bit into the gutter when I look at this... Not sure how I actually feel about it artistically/aesthetically. Comments greatly appreciated! This is a "first draft" of the image, created in about 10 minutes when I should have been doing other things while Liam was sleeping.
