I think all of your icons are very pretty, but I liked the earlier "notebook" versions much better -- it seems like a notebook conveys the generic idea of editor, and the E/horns add an easily recognizable "tag" to tell you it's Emacs[*]. I think adding the word "emacs" to the icon is pretty useless except at huge icon sizes, and merely muddles up the icon at small sizes.
So my requests: Add back the "notebook". Get rid of the word "Emacs" in small sizes (anything less than 64x64 really). However _any_ of these new icons is better than the old Gnu/mushroom icon -- now I see that old icon at about 16x16 size in my taskbar, and it looks basically like a piece of lint! The original image is far too detailed to ever be very useful as an icon i think. [*] Of course someone who doesn't use emacs won't know what the crooked horns mean -- but so what? Icons are not really any good at introducing new concept anyway. They are much more useful for _recognition_ than documentation. -miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
