Making my own touchmark stamp

First of all, happy holidays everyone. I hope your stockings where filled with tools and all you hoped for.

I have wanted to make my own touchmark stamp for a while. You can pay someone to do it, but I feel it such a personal branding thing, it would be nice to make my own. Since I have zero artistic ability, I came across a number of techniques to help me.

What steel were you using for the touchmark?

EN8 as that is what I had during lockdown, but ideally I would have used a O1 or O2. I did manage to get it pretty hard though.
