<div>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!</div> <div> </div><div>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.)</div> <div> </div><div>Eben</div><div> </div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 10:02 PM, Gary Martin <<a href="mailto:garycmartin@googlemail.com">garycmartin@googlemail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">On 3 Jul 2010, at 01:42, Eben Eliason wrote: > The door and the bell could both be solid stroke-colored fills.

I've attached a SVG that is a (close) reproduction of the school with bell tower as shown in the OLPC promotional video (and similar to the top right icon from my previous email set). The one major change was to make proper use of fill and stroke colour, not just a single fill silhouette. The school-server icon needs to show colour identity in the neighbourhood, just like other objects. > > Martin (Langhoff): Can you confirm the server does pass some unique identity that could be used to set the icon fill and stroke identity colours?
