i like andrew zhilin's set of notebook icons very much, and think there are compelling reasons to go with them. first of all, i think most of the other candidates are misguided, because text in an icon is almost always clutter. i am fairly certain that icons serve the purpose of elemental glyphs

_any_ of these new icons is better than the old Gnu/mushroom icon ... it looks basically like a piece of lint! The original image is far too detailed to ever be very useful as an icon Most of us agree (I think), that neither complex images nor text work well at icon size. I've already
