Looking at the icons in the dock of my Mac, it's hard not to notice that the LyX icon -- with Lydia sitting on top of the letters LyX -- being relatively complicated, is less readily identifiable and less "graphic" than other icons. Most icons are simpler, and more successful IMHO because of that simplicity. Now I'm really fond of Lydia, and I wouldn't want her to snap at me if she were to get dumped, but what would LyX folks think about just using the letters LyX alone (just the letters, no background even)? It would be simple, graphically strong, but also unusual, since few icons are the same as the name of the application. Just a thought.
