While clear, such an icon doesn't look much self-explaining to me
with regard to its associated Draw Distance functionality.

I still feel binoculars may be the best option.

Binoculars may not be a commonly used glyph outside of SL,
but it's a fact that many Second Life features are just .. not commonly
used features. In most applications / online services / information
environments or RL appliances, you just don't have the concept
of "Draw Distance" or anything similar.

Hey guys,

i had an idea and i tried to draw it, but it was sorta disappointing.  It
looks sorta ok at 32x32, but at 16x16 it starts to get kinda, "Huh?"  See,
it's supposed to be a hand drawing.  Like holding a pencil, with an arrow
underneath it pointing the direction it's drawing.  i attached a copy of
the 32x32 one to this message.

You can laugh at it and call it names if you want.  It was just an idea. 
i've been sick like fever puking for three days and today one of my teeth
started on the pain like please just give me to the CIA and let them
torture me to death thing, so it's not like you could possibly make
anything hurt worse.  Maybe it will even give someone a better idea?  i
can do way better graphic art, too, but maybe not while i'm shaking,
sweating, and trying not to scream myself unconscious.

Have fun!
