On a side note, like Thomas, I'm a little leery of the fact that you've seemingly bypassed the VDG main channel. I've done stupid things like that too (much more publicly) and I've learned that consulting with peers is important before moving up the chain with an idea.
I didn't bypassed the VDG channel, I sent the email to visual-design mailing list, I wanted to discuss there but also make plasma-devel subscribers aware of it... (looking into MLs it looks to me a good practice, sorry). Nobody replied into visual-design ml... Then Thomas informed me that my email wasn't sent into plasma-dev (but it was on visual-design since some days, I'm pretty sure about that). So OK if you didn't see that, no problem. But please don't say I bypassed VDG. Recently the VDG "officially" said that KDE logo has to be replaced by Plasma one (in a bug report iirc) and someone replied that the VDG should discuss this with Plasma team, since the topic is really important. So I think I did the best thing to use both the mailing lists.
About the fact the Sun logo looks like a gear if used as icon for kickoff: you are totally right, that's why I'd suggest to use a generic icon for kickoff, not because of the Sun logo, but because I don't like the tradition to use a logo into the product itself (it also makes questions: it should be used the DE logo (Plasma one), the community one (KDE logo) or the distribution one? That's why I suggest to avoid this decision and simply use a generic "apps" icon). If generic "apps" icons will not be used, I totally agree with you that the Sun logo shouldn't be used in monochrome as kickoff icon.
