I meant the design, not what's shown. The current one is a but Win98-ish. Celluloid film is still widely used in cinemas, so it's not that old school. Film is probably more recognizable than a video tape or a DVD. > We had someone contribute a new icon not too long ago, but it was > dismissed as being too similar to a trademarked one from a commercial > offering in this space.

All Oxygen icons for documents are basically just Mac OS X icons flipped vertically. Honestly, I don't think we have to fear much. Worst case scenario: We receive a cease and desist letter. In such case we could just revert to the old artwork. My mock-up is just the DragonPlayer icon minus the dragon and the scissors from the tango icon set with thinner outlines. That clapperboard talk made me think and I just found a great drawing on Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clapperboard.png I modified it a little bit. The "Kdenlive" string would be removed in smaller versions. What do you think?
