For purely aestethic reasons, I agree, and that's how I originally did
it. But then I realized that this does not make sense. Open any
battery compartment and you'll see that the end of the knob on the +
side is aligned with the flat end of the ­– side. Moreover, in this
way the original width of the logo remains exactly the same. I'm not
sure if that really matters, though.
