I think that the more complete horns look too much like an "M" (and they are less attractive, IMO). The tiny word "emacs" should be dropped, however. The notebook is good to have in the larger icons - and maybe also in the smaller icon (16x16). If it is used in the 16x16 icon, then we are trying to have it be recognized as a version of the larger-icon notebook. Especially in that case, but even in general, I think I would prefer that the larger notebook also be vertical, instead of laid diagonally. I'm not sure about the use of the color gradient (vs a flat color). The gradient makes the image slightly harder to discern. It seems to work OK for the gray icon, but it works less well for the colored ones. Dunno - I'd like to see it again, with the "E" horns on a vertical notebook, to see if that works OK. Finally, I'm not a fan of the shiny 3D button versions (2nd and 3rd in top row).
