I like your M+xi+sigma idea and drawing is quite nice.
But it seems to me that it is a bit verbose and complex
bo be a logo - too many overlapping  curves.
I think that logo should be a bit simpler and laconic
to be easily recognizable from the first glance.
Just IMHO.  No offense  :-)

I also been thinking about name Maxima. It sounds
good by itself  but so many things around are named
Maxima - cars, cigarettes ... Well, but I think it is too
late to change name.
