<sigh>

There was only a handful of messages, in the thread you started. You
could have at least kept half an eye on it and commented when I
submitted the logo for review.

As discussed, it doesn't scale down to 16x16 without becoming a mess,
so I presented the alternative as a simplification which does.

If you can come up with something better that does scale down, I'm
happy to look at it. As it happens, I've just seen that the new one
goes fuzzy when displayed on an XP style application bar, so it'll
have to be changed again anyway.

Are you at least happy that the SQL icon is an improvement over the
previous nasty blue one?
