The above is EXCELLENT!!!
But, when you do {\it \LaTeX}, you will see some unsatisfactory
space between `T' and the \lower'ed `E'

	LaT eX
           ^

How about this!

   \def\LaTeX{{\count0=\fam$\fam=\count0\relax
       L\kern-.36em\raise.3ex\hbox{$\fam=\count0\relax\scriptstyle A$}
       \kern-.15em \hbox{\TeX}$}}
                   ^^^^^

\section{A Note on \LaTeX logo}

As you may have noticed, the amount of \lower'ed E in def. of
\TeX (in plain.tex and lplain.tex) is different from that in
def. of \LaTeX (in latex.tex). That is:

   % from lplain.tex
   \def\TeX{T\kern-.1667em\lower.5ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}
                                ^^^^
   % from latex.tex
   \def\LaTeX{{\rm L\kern-.36em\raise.3ex\hbox{\sc a}\kern-.15em
       T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
                           ^^^^

If you want the `\lower.7ex\hbox{E}, try:

   \def\LaTeX{{\count0=\fam$\fam=\count0\relax
       L\kern-.36em\raise.3ex\hbox{$\fam=\count0\relax\scriptstyle A$}
       \kern-.15em\hbox{T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}$}}
