BTW, I'm currently using the "old" version of the "new" icon (etc/images/iconsemacs256_mac.png"), and I find that I rather like the position of the horns in that (they look like an "M", not an "E", but mostly they look like Gnu horns). Somehow much more friendly and funky looking than the more "Eish" appearance in the latest versions you posted. At my current icon size though, the pen isn't even recognizable as a stick or anything, it just looks like a stain in the corner... maybe changing the pen color would help (I think your new versions had a more brown pen). -Miles -- Erudition, n.
