Cool. Looks good. I did tweak the image a bit to make the colors stand out better. But only slightly. Because when I made the shapes too big, the image lost it's MPL "feel". Here is the source image I used to create the icon. Feel free to give it a go. There are a number of programs that can turn the image into an icon. I like ""Any to Icon". And to preview the icon, you can simply open the file in a web browser.

At the size the icon is rendered at in the browser, the features are very indistinct JDH
