That being said, I like this different icon very well: in particular the GNU-horn similarity, the E/M ambiguity and the overall polishedness are a step forward. But to make it stick, all icons would need to be adapted, and we are too late in the game for that. But I think that a variation of that icon would probably be good for Emacs 23, so we should keep it in mind and definitely ask the contributor both for an assignment, and whether he would be willing to work on a complete set. In the mean time, it would appear that something more in line with the current icon design would be more appropriate for MacOS with Emacs 22. --=20 David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
