The obvious one:

Well, for a menu entry I definitely think the tango looking glass should be used. However as a project icon I think it is worn out.

Jamie: Klingon? I take this as the highest honor :-)

Maybe closing the shapes will take some of the evil empire/batman look away from it... Hearing the words batman and klingon associated with the icon, i kinda think it must be the coolest icon ever ;-P

I'll try and do some adjustments. If it still ain't good I'll scrap the idea.

Cheers,
