echo-icon-theme: gnome-devel icon draft

Hi,

I made a gnome-devel icon draft. See attachments. It is also
available (with
SVG) on my personal wiki [1].

Atachments:
1. gnome-devel16.png
2. gnome-devel24.png
3. gnome-develL.png

Hm... they were supposed to be so... Anyway, what colour
would you suggest?
There is an orange-handled wrench, a blue-handed srewdriver,
it is not an easy
job to pick third colour for them... And the box is supposed
to look similar
to a pot from applications-office icon.

Any further suggestions or comments appreciated 

Thanks,
Martin

I don't like the way these tools are used for setup,
properties and devel.
A metaphor that is re-used for widely different things is
not a good
metaphor.

+1

I think a different image should be used; KDE's Crystal
developent
icon [a1] is a bit bland compared to Echo's style but the
mimetype
icon for Kig [a2] looks good for development. I can see
where you are
coming from looking at Bluecurve's package-development but I
think we
can do better than that.

I propose a 'screen designer' style icon; perhaps the
following ideas may help:
 - the screen behind a pencil and set square (similar to
accessories)
 - screen behind the 'applications-other' icon or similar
 - screen with text or code on it, keyboard or pencil in
front -
reminiscent to 'text-x-script'
 - keyboard, pencil, cogs

Any thoughts?

lego-style assembling (recognising software development
these days
involves creating new things with existing blocks, and
avoiding
confusion with schema/vector-graphics editors)

Yes. I noticed the same on other items as well.
