The biggest problem is that the icon is not identifiable enough at small
sizes.

I did ask Quentin and he happily gave us the SVG :-)

Actually I would send him my changes and ask for his
opinion/critic/approval. Again, I only will make (have started making)
small changes...if everything works out ok we could probably use a near
to exact copy of the original for the larger sizes if everyone wants it
that way (ie. a more detailed large version)
