Hi Bernhard, My comments are pretty much the same as Christoph's. The 3D look seems out of place, and a box with handles would look great (as shown in his link). I will play with your svg file if you put it up; playing around with it might spark some ideas for what else could be added. Draw is a surprisingly tough icon...
I would greatly appreciate if everyone could put their svg files on the wiki page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons I will playing around with stuff in the next couple days. Thanks!
