I prefer emacs_128.png. I see it the most at 16x16 so it better sing at that resolution :-). There is precedent for changing the icon on each major release, so I'd go along with the game. Ideally, the icon should fit comfortably on many different kinds of desktops, but given that many if not most of our icons are based upon GTK, if we lean in any direction, I'd recommend that it be GNOME. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD
