Due to the chosen colour combination and shape it's pretty hard to make it look crisp and distinctive in smaller sizes. So I decided to try metal/blue glass combination for the trash icon with more traditional shape. From usability POV it's indeed by far better than Diana's design, but as you noted the current incarnation fails to impress. I neither want to go with this icon (as is now), nor with Diana's design. It's an early "research" design that follows our current Echo style very closely and is very distinctive, though simple-looking. I'd like the broader audience here on art list to comment on it, improve it and finally come to some design that would satisfy both our usability needs *and* our wants to impress. So basically my intentions with this very icon is to think about it more deeply, throughoutly and collaboratively because it's an icon that has very wide usage. Take my design as a trigger for such discussion. Note however that it's by no means necessary to fix this icon in time for F10, we still have much of work to do on icons that are missing altogether, it just happened that I had the idea now so in order to not forgot, I put it together... If this discussion dies too fast due to lack of our present time, I'll bring it up again after F10 is released. > Luya Martin
