I do not mean to appear rude, but is not any image involving film or film-oriented production (e.g. clapper board) old school? I am 40 years old now, and I do remember my father splicing 8mm film, but I doubt many even in my generation was exposed to it. However, I do not disagree that people still recognize and understand it, and I personally do like nostalgia. If we have an old school image, maybe it should have a more nostalgic, weathered, and dirty look as opposed to this clean one. :-) > If you think that a new icon is needed, but my mock-up totally sucks, I'll try > to approach the Oxygen icon team. We had someone contribute a new icon not too long ago, but it was dismissed as being too similar to a trademarked one from a commercial offering in this space. So, be careful of that. I do not think this is similar to anything from a big commercial vendor, but it would not surprised me if it is the same as something from a lower end Windows product. FWIW, I prefer something more abstract and less generic or obvious, which is probably counter to the Oxygen approach. -- +-DRD-+
