A quick question, but what would the difference be between a 2x2 Brick
and a 2x2 Lego Brick? Of course you could say it's a competitors
device, or are they worried by the association of the image of the
brick directly to the Lego product.

It's just a fact that that image IS associated with their product!

I'm trying to put some original thought into my icons. Something like a
pencil, or a rocket ship, or a pencil that turns into a rocket ship, that
looks vaguely like a brick, if you look at it closely, so that you remember
it's something to do with Lego, but not the same thing....

My other un-original idea was James Jessiman's pyramid model---which I am
looking at way more than any other image because it's a test
pattern---pasted onto a standard type of generic document icon. It took
about 5 minutes. Which is a good indicator that it can't be very original.

Hey, Pixelpalooza awards came out today. See the yummy original icons:

Speaking of icons, if you see 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' watch the little
corner dingbats during the opening credits. The Cohn brothers snuck in a
modern toilet for one of them.

(...) remember (...) Oooh, I can visualize the pencil-rocket-brick thing! If you want, I could send you a mock-up graphic. Let me know. Regards, --Ryan (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.publish)
