I'm not able to comment on the cwiki page so I write here: I still prefer AOO Desktop Icon Exploration 2 (Round), because I think the round shape is enough "branding" and the gulls are not needed. If this remains a minority preference I would like if at least for small icon sizes the gulls are dropped. For small icons I now think maintaining the round shape is the most consistent solution. I think it is a bit unfortunate that Math has now a strong color with contrast while the IMO more important Draw with yellow has much less contrast.
