I played with the format so that the text letters would look like a monolith.

On a technical level, I've lasercut plenty before therefore I will keep this short.
I wanted to design a rock formation, titled Build a Rock as a pun on Build-a-Bear.
In the world of monoliths and desert, it also reminded me of the rock formations of cairns and how they're used as wayfinding devices.
