+1. The problem is who would do this, and what would happen when the community wouldn't be able to decide wheter it's good or not. > Something that is recognizable at a very tiny scale (like menu items, > file icons, web favicons or at the footer of slides of a presentation) Frescobaldi's "engrave" button has a similar flower, but it's not really recognizable at small size...

They should be related visually. Example: LyX. It's full logo has 3 colored letters, but the favicon is just one. They match nicely. > I don't have the skills to produce professionally looking > vectorgraphics. But I would like to ask if that work would be welcomed > by the community, in case someone did it? I'd surely be interested in logo suggestions, but remember that it's easy to produce a lot of wasted effort.
