This is great Gary, thanks so much! Most of the icons are already very good and quite consistent. And there are a few we could definitely improve.<div><br></div><div>I see we already have both a wrench and a cog. But the more I think about it, it seems that preferences could be a form with checkboxes, or even a pencil making a checkmark. Seems that the message we want to communicate is "having a choice", more than the "inner workings" implied by the cog/gear. What do you think?</div>

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
For some time I've been meaning to create a contact sheet for all sugar-artwork svg icons to help as a quick reference, and for general icon polishing/standardisation. Finally – having been fiddling with svg xml for my SOM generation code – I got around to the task:<br>

Christian: Given the Design Meeting conversation on Sunday, you might be interested in 5 along, 7 down (view-source AKA the cog), and 2 along, 8 down (preferences-system AKA the spanner).<br>
<br>
Gonzalo: You might like to check out 12 along, 9 down (camera-external) for re: your Record toolbar work as I think it gives a stronger, more sugar standard version of a camera icon than currently shown in your mockups (would need to update your video and microphone icon styles to match):<br>
<br>

A comment and a question about the icons: The loupe (6 along, 5 down) looks bigger than the other icons (in WIkibrowse is very visible). The question: The arrows up and down with the media icon inside, are supposed to be used to transfer media or to save/load from journal? I think are better to transfer, but i saw these used to save to/load from the journal<br>
