Unless there's some good reason for a wee logo between scenes, Jack (I've used several, including kangaroos and lightning strikes and a Greek letter), the best way is to stick to simple print industry format (unless you're using different layout for an ebook, of course.

*First line of a chapter or scene tight to left margin. Following paragraphs consistently indented.

*Line break (max two) between sections within a chapter. No other separation device necessary. That's the text designer's job.

You can find a little more detail on layout if you go to the 'For Authors' section of our website, linked below.

If you're talking print, just pull a couple of paperbacks from your shelves and take special note of layout. If you're working ebook with all paragraph opening lines tight to left and a space between pars, you'd have to leave more space or use a device like three or four asterisks. Whatever, keep in clear and as simple as pos.

Good luck and best wishes. Neil
