Can you explain the latest icon design. I don't get it at all. The ruler icon looks best to me. The new one just looks like an empty computer case! 

Don't worry, I am pretty much scrapping all of these. I am either
starting over or we can just use the latest icon designed by zuMi,
which I have added to the DiskUsage icon web page:

In the meantime I've designed new icons for CharacterMap, the
cddb_daemon and the midi_server (which are already being used in
Haiku):


These do indeed look awesome, but...

This looks more like a MIME icon for a text format. I would expect a Character Map icon have maybe a keyboard key, an arrow, and then a letter? 


http://ryanleavengood.com/haiku/cddb_daemon_icon.html
This looks like a microscope looking at a CD which implies something like a low-level CD track reader? Given CDDB is a web-based product, wouldn't it be logical to have a CD and the <stock_haiku_web_representation_icon> in there? 


http://ryanleavengood.com/haiku/midi_server_icon.html
This looks like an app icon - is Haiku sticking with the BeOS tradition of using <something_on_a_hand> to represent a server? If so, would it make sense to use the hand icon here?
