No more than using <quote>close-button-like icon to express Kexi</quote> :)

I agre that we should promote logos more. But icons show purpose of
the app more.
I find it important especially that not each app from KOffice has name
suggesting the purpose.

Moreover, since we have icons too and use them on the desktop (and not
logos) to identify the applications, why should we do the opposite and
drop icons on the user-centered wiki?
