I'm still partial to μBTC. Having the two units after the decimal place, tenths and hundredths, is what most people have become accustomed to when looking at the price of goods and services.
You could price something as 361350 satoshi, but in my mind, 3613.50 μBTC looks more recognisable and familiar.
I've never liked "micro" as a unit. When you write "3613.50 μBTC", I convert it in my mind to "3.6135 mBTC", and then know that's about $90 (preev.com: $96.95, so close enough). One of the problems with "micro" is that you can't easily type it, and it ends up as "uBTC" which is technically incorrect.
Another name for "μBTC" is "bits", but that doesn't have "Bitcoin" in the name anymore.
I've had some further thoughts on this, especially in relation to Sterling. If I want to list an item for 5 pounds, then I can print £5, but if it is only 5 pence, then I can list it as 5p. I'm going to adopt the same concept with Satoshi. ie. 50 Satoshi will be 50s. I'm hoping that this won't appear similar to 505 in some fonts.
The problem with "5p" is that it may be common in England, the rest of the world doesn't know what it is. To me, "50s" looks like "50 seconds", and I don't think we should use an existing SI-unit for something else.
You know what Loyce, you may actually be onto something!

BullShit.. get it?

Yes, thank you for explaining my own joke to me
![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
Lol.
It's not only meant as a joke though: a joke could help to quickly gain popularity.
Because I know I often have dry jokes nobody gets: B (BTC) stands for bull, S (dollar) stands for shit..
I hadn't thought of it this way, and I don't think most people will go this far.
or even ⓢ
I like it, but without the cursive, and bold:
Ⓢmy personal preference is a design of a the @ symbol but with a 'S' instead of an 'a' in the center of the 'at' sign. so that its a 'sat'
That could work

Why can't we keep it really simple and follow the same design pattern as the symbol bitcoin.
For example: the one is below is a good resemblance according to me

This is the best I've seen so far
