Most icons don't look anything like what they represent. I like the dailymotion one; it's consistent with the sugar theme, and I personally think the bell is an important visual element here. It's true, the schools I went to in central america usually had a big steel pipe the teacher would bang on to summon us, instead of a nice traditional bell shape, but I think the "summon kids to school" element (in some form) is a nice hook for a school icon. That said, a schoolserver isn't really a school (neither is a floppy disk a decent representation for 'save'), so an abstract shape would work just as well. But if we're going to go for representing a school, I vote for a bell. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
