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.
