Should I put my monogram on my CV and personal statement?
I'm almost 16 years old and in my final year of high school. Right now I'm in the process of writing my CV and personal statement for college but I have a small query regarding these. I'd say I'm quite good at graphic design and web development and this shows in my work as I'm currently on the highest grade in my CiDA (Certificate in Digital Applications) class with an A* grade. Although I haven't quite finished creating it, I do have a personal monogram which I use on all of my CiDA work to give a small demonstration of my capabilities.
Should I use this monogram on my CV, personal statement, and other formal documents which a college or potential employer may require? I don't want to put it on if it will make my CV and personal statement look informal, however I would like something to show that I am good with technology. Would you recommend placing my monogram on these, or do you think they will disregard my application?
At A-Level I will probably study: Maths, Economics, Accounting, and either Geography or Graphic Design.

As a one time recruiter I would at least look twice at anything that caught my eye in a stack of CVs. I would say go for it, but no more than a square inch at the top of page one.

I wouldn't put it on your CV but you could incorporate something else on a separate sheet (not the monogram) showing what you are capable of.

I would not because it makes the recipient think you are a 'smart alec'. Let your qualifications / experience speak for themselves.
