But what features of such maps would make them good for this Mutator exclusively?

I completely agree!

EDIT: My first Logo attempt. it's the nexuiz logo with two extra points making it look like a T and an F. Nexuiz TF (click picture to enlarge. SVG is available)

I think it would be better if you put white letter "T" and "F"s in the things you added, it took me a sec before I saw the TF.

I think it's good this way. Have you ever seen the Northwest Airlines Logo? I think it's the old one, but it's the same deal and they're a big company

It stands for the N and the W.

maybe the right idea wrong execution.

You do also realise that it's a kanji symbol and adding "dots" can actually make it mean something totally different?

:? :P Woops. Can you find anything that looks like/similar to it? if not, i think it would work.
I think this would be a good site to get ideas from, especially since this is free, and Steam runs on WINE. http://www.fortress-forever.com/index.php

Their Spy kind of looks like a Playermodel someone ( don't know who, I'm sure that will be answered in no time) is making for Nexuiz. Maybe it's already made, but on Pics.nn I saw a ninja playermodel. Maybe we could modify it to look similar to this:

Z-man is quite correct here. Adding dots can mean different stuff. Thankfully you've got me. I'm gonna use a Japanese font so sorry for those who do not see this, here goes.

Adding dots might be a bad thing for this specific character. This character is a liiitle pain in the butt. 'Chikara' (力) looks almost identical to the Katakana 'ka' (カ). Adding one slash makes this into a Hirigana 'ka' (か). Now you can add two small dots to the Hirigana 'ka' and it will look like this (が), which would turn it into a 'ga'. Do the same for the Katakana 'ka' and this is the result (ガ) = 'ga'. Now, the letter 'chikara' do not have those dots but if you add them you'd kinda turn that character into 'ga' just with "misplaced" dots, which will make it look like some newbie in Japanese screwed up (or tried to be fancy). :P
So instead of: Nexuiz = Strength
It would be: Nexuiz = Ga

So, to sum up. Dots for this particular character is not a good idea.

Ga means nothing (unless it's a 'particle', but I won't go into that). It's like a 'letter/alphabet' so to say. They have stuff like 'a i u e o, ka ki ku ke ko, sa shi su se so' etc. Kinda like, 'a b c d e f' etc.
