Thank you for the link, you don't seem to be a bad guy for one of those
010 ;-) To be serious, it's a please to (somehow) meet you!
Interestingly, I'm working in a department called "Systems" which cares
about method and tools for the development of systems of nearly any
kind. There, I'm working in the team "Human-Machine-Interaction" - it
seems that we complement each other. One thing I love when taking part
in the OOo community.

Maybe it helps to have this icon in context, as one of my goals was to
avoid a (significant) color change in the icon itself. Maybe some more
professional artistic skills would be helpful to create icons for
logged-out and logged-in status. At the moment, it's just an idea...
T.J, thank you for the discussion and have nice day!
Christoph
