lightsig
My first attempt at a lightsig turned out nicely! What you actually see here is the light of my camera's 4x3cm LCD screen moving through the air, captured in a 10 second exposure by Martijn's camera.

By the way, I could have sworn this sort of thing was commonly referred to as a lightsig, but the Google non-results seem to indicate otherwise.

Great, you got yourself a new logo for your site. Would it be technically possible to add a dot on the i, you think?

Perhaps. By briefly rotating the LCD screen away from the camera, gaps might appear in the light-line.

Funny ^_^
To make the dot above the I, you could simply put your hand on the LCD.

Excellent! I think it's commonly referreed to as 'Painting with Light' or 'Light Painting' though.
