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?
