Hi all - This appears to be a PR to https://github.com/pure-data/pd-icon - but htere seems to be confusion as to whether this should be part of pure data itself. I think it wound be fine to have it in pure data - but I don't know if I should just grab the files and stick them in pure-data or if that would cause trouble somehow.
