What dimensions are you shooting for with the icon? Is there a set __ x __
pixels?
My wife is a professional graphic designer, and is called upon regularly to
design or redesign icons. If the goal is to figure out ways to have a "record"
button not look like an indicator light or stop sign, I bet she would have some
ideas.
If you def want to go with the "record" paradigm, I believe there are some
pretty well-established norms for this in the icon world.
