I think we need to get the symbols right at first, then we should 
implement them in the different icons.

(Especially as we switched the template and document icons - what has 
not been implemented in the source files uploaded.

Thanks for stepping in - even today I spent some more time on this icon, 
but I didn't find a better approach...

There are three minor points I want to mention concerning your draft:

1. As the heavier items are in the upper area of the symbol it doesn't 
look very balanced. Even if I don't like to copy the ODF icons, perhaps 
we should move the rectangle up and the triangle / circle down.

2. I have a minor problem with the rectangle with handles lent from the 
ODF icons:

Draw doesn't use round handles - and a rectangle has eight square handles.

Polygons can be drawn with one handle on each corner, so you can create 
a rectangle with four of them - or a trapezoid, if it fits better with 
the overall design.

3. I don't know if the white fill inside the triangle doesn't look too 
harsh - did you try the light yellow? (But this might be less visual, 
when the icons are switched to the lighter background).

As I said - minor points (and probably not shared by everybody here).

Best regards

Bernhard
