Magnum brings up two great points, both of which I had considered while designing my icon:
1) Does the icon represent what the application performs
2) Is the icon bloated
I think my icon manages to slip by on both of them. I tried to make the inner part of the slate look a bit like a CRT monitor to give the impression of a screen. Also, the icon looks pretty rad on the Applications menu (small) and on Docky (large) - give it a whirl!
Either way I'm completely open to changing it to something else should that be the popular opinion. I like the idea of the lightning bolt, and I'm really liking the purple.
Throw in some more ideas and I'll make another proposal. Thanks!
