i give up, what's the EMACS icon supposed to be?

i give up, what's the EMACS icon supposed to be?

[wahzoo]

I've been running GNU EMACS for years now on Windows.
Does anyone know what the EMACS icon is a picture of?

On my machine it looks like a stainless steel ring with
the profile of an open book laid on top. (?)  (I've run
past versions where the icon is a kitchen sink.)

WtF is it?

Wow, you need therapy, it's obviously a sea anenome! ;-)


Well maybe not..

If when I right-click on the icon, select properties,Change icon, and
take out my +3.50 glasses and squint just right I can make out, yes,
it the face of a gnu.  It has an earring dangling off its left horn
(or is that a bad 70's haircut?). 8-)

Hey, at least it's unique.

Methiks, it's supposed to be a gnu head :) Have a look at
$EMACS_DIR/etc/icons, if you've got ntemacs. There's a kitchen sink there,
too.

This seems to have disappeared with 21.*  Does this means that
emacs has gone back to the status of 'everything BUT the kitchen
sink'?

No, they haven't disappeared. They are in emacs-21.X.-fullbin-i386.tar.gz,
where X is in {1,2}, at least (again, it's ntemacs).
