The "mm" letters represent a dynamic marks in notation like "mf = mezzo forte". In this case "mm" would stand for "mm = Marcato Music". It is also visible in the notation picture behind and written with the font usually used in notation to describe dynamics.

#9, #8: although the mm references the way dynamics appear, it's not the look I'm going for. It seems too "classy" or maybe even too "classical" for the modern look I want. #7 is far too serious and baroque for what I'm going for. It might help to check out my site www.marcato-music.com to get an idea of what I'm going for. It's a pretty cheesy site, but it's aimed at offering materials for band directors and subtle modern minimalism is probably the rule.
