That icon looks like it's done a bit in the Tango style already. > Did Andreas draw that? No, I did it - with one eye to the Tango style, since the style guidelines are very clear to follow even for a hack like me, when it comes to drawing; and because those icons are really amazing (and since I've been using them on my desktop for some time, now ;-)). > It's pretty nice icon, visually speaking. But, > the metaphor is lacking. I know, it's the same issue raised with the old icon: the "book" should loosely remind of a dictionary - I've checked with some of the dictionaries I have got on my bookshelves - but the point is that there's no a uniform "dictionary-style" for those either. So, in the end, the dictionary/book metaphor should be dumped for good. The fact that the dictionary has to do with writing makes the whole thing a bit harder - especially when scaling down to the small icon sizes. > You're welcome to > join #tango on freenode or mail the tango-artists list, and discuss > possible solutions to the dictionary metaphor problem, so that maybe we > can have an amazingly nice icon for the dictionary. I'll do.
