A live, editable V monogram you can download as SVG or PNG right now — plus what the shape of a V actually demands from a logo designer.
Two diagonals meeting at a single point at the baseline — the simplest of the three diagonal capitals.

The V is a wedge: widest at the top, narrowest at the bottom, exactly inverting the A's problem. It leaves two empty lower corners and a sharp apex at the baseline that antialiasing rounds off. Because it has no crossbar and no counter, a V carries very little ink relative to the space it occupies, so it looks lighter than neighbouring letters at the same weight. It is also easily confused with the U at small sizes and with a lowercase v at any size.
Move the V slightly below the geometric centre so the heavy top does not look like it is tipping out of the frame, and go a weight heavier than usual to compensate for the low ink coverage. A circular container suits the V badly — the empty lower corners plus the circle's curve leave the letter stranded. Use a square or lightly-rounded container, or a container that lets the V's arms reach the top edge.
The apex point flattens into a stub at 16px, which is cosmetically acceptable. The real risk is reading as a U — make sure the diagonals are visibly straight rather than curved.
The V's empty lower-left tucks neatly under a preceding L or T. LV and TV are both clean. VV reads as a W and should be avoided. VA is difficult: two apexes pointing in opposite directions creates a large awkward gap.
The V needs mass to counter its low ink coverage, and League Spartan's heavy geometric weight fills the wedge without softening the diagonals. See what League Spartan looks like as an icon , or swap it for any of the 900+ Google Fonts in the editor.
Geometric centring and optical centring are not the same thing. Nudge the V until it looks centred, not until the numbers say it is.
Corner radius changes the mood more than the font does. A 0% square reads as technical, 20% as an app icon, 50% as a personal avatar.
