I just realised, Is the 'R' in Illuminati-R-Us the right way around?

Yeah, we're Illuminati not Illiterate.

You mean like this?

Like the Toys-R-Us logo?

Then it would be a Russian "ya," which, as a stand-alone word, means "I."

Well, Plagiarizer, I don't have anything against your suggestion...

...but it doesn't seem to be going over well.

On the other hand, we can call the Illumi-llama "Geoffrey"

If you go back and edit your OP, you can add one. Feel free.

If the consensus is for a backwards "R," the last letter of the Russian alphabet will do nicely, if it can be found in a font similar to the other letters.

Illuminati-Я-Us

Probably a Massai giraffe, but it's a little hard to tell just from the head...

Looks good on Opera 7. :D Only thing is I had to type &# 1071; to quote you or it won't go through. :-s

It seems to me though that the backwards R in Toys-Я-Us is an attempt to be whimsical and juvenile, much like the stereotype of the backwards S'es on a lemonade stand.

No doubt, but the Cyrillic font will do in a pinch if you don't have a whimsical or juvenile font on your computer :)

Hmmm...

I wonder how long it will be before anyone notices...
