[Sugar-devel] Schoolserver icon

[Eben Eliason]

Ah, I see now. At first glance at the previous iteration I thought that it
was just the stroke of a bell shape; I didn't read the bell within the arch.
I do like that idea, actually, but this version does read more clearly. It
looks great!

I'm not sure if this would be any better or not, but have you tried a solid
stroke-color "cap" on the steeple? You could also widen the steeple a bit to
make the bell even larger for clarity. (These are just "what if"s, though,
not recommendations…it already looks great.)
