You'd need (SC)^2. And even then, it would be SSSCCSCC, due to the way you apply exponents to expressions in parenthesis, if memory serves correctly, because it would be (SC)(SC), which means you take S times S and C, then C times S and C.

Yay math?

It's been a while since I did that stuff though.
I'm a math major. I know how to do binomial expansion. However, (SC)*2 is just kind of lame. Sorry, I know I'm betraying my math roots by allowing it, but for the sake of short logos, the ^2 will have to do.
