Thanks Andre, I'd love for us to get something that is in-line visually with our wikifont style. simple, and feels comfortable in-line with text. This icon appears at multiple sizes, both extremely small 12-20px and larger 24-36px so something with a lot of shading, and color is unlikely to be as durable as we need.
