Comment 6 for bug 1047902

@Alex: that one was the hi-res version of an icon, it is actually a drawing of a cuttlefish but in smaller size versions it would loose progressively some details.

@Paulo: I like very much the concept of an octopus holding a lamp, but just the silhouette won't work: I love glyphs for notification areas, but an icon needs to be in full color at greater sizes and in menus. Try to put your icon in the middle of the loads of other icons you find in a modern system, it would surely stand out in a negative way.

I'd go for a main icon in full colors and a glyph just for 22x22 and 16x16 sizes, but your actual icon it's already too crowded to be a nice glyph in such sizes, I would put more accent on the lamp and avoid to hog it with other symbols (USB, WiFi etc.)

I'll be happy to contribute to your work!
