Is it good?
It seems very BIG. I make my symbols smaller and would make the pin spacing two grid points rather than four. I would probably move all of the GNDs (including chasis) to the left side. I would also place the V+5 and V0 above the GNDs. I would probably keep all the control and status pins together on the right. I also leave a empty grid point between pin groups. More important is how does the symbol look when it is wired into your schematic? Is it easy to follow the connections and understand the signal flow? Try placing the symbol and see how it looks. Placing all of the power and grounds on one side, creating a group for the control and status pins, and a group for the data pins has worked for me.
