We need an icon to be used on the desktop which is associated with
SELinux. The first intended use would be the icon associated with
setroubleshoot to indicate you have an SELinux issue to deal with.

In the interim we've been using Tux with a badge, but we can't use Tux
because of legal constraints (however, lets not go down that rathole in
this thread :-).

We can't use a police badge because that's very close to the icon used
for consolehelper root access.

So far we've come up with:

* Traffic Light (indicates stop/go).

* Crossed swords

* Bobby hat (English policeman)

We would like some suggestions, anybody have a good idea? Just remember
it has to be identifiable at small sizes. Images associated with the NSA
probably won't get warm feelings in a variety of places.
 Images associated with NSA won't go over well ?  Hrmm.... maybe this is a
*detailed* look and feel.... how about a star fish, inside an unbroken circle ?

(It is ready made for O'Reilly  ;-)

 PPS: The crossed swords have my vote, if you don't like the starfish.

That, or you put the starfish inside a pentagon.....instead of an unbroken circle, just different enough from the original to be unique. It would then symbolize "isolation and containment".... aligning the stars legs to the corners of the pentagon,
isolating each 5th of the pentagon from the other.

Both are recognizable, but not too similar to familiar logo's among the puzzle palace crowd.

(James Bamford, I am not.)

Of course, you could use the silhouette of a piece of a jigsaw puzzle..... maybe with 5 "connectors",
but that would be too obscure...

Or, yet still, combine the elements, a jigsaw puzzle piece, with a starfish, inside a pentagon,
on the surface of the puzzle piece.  ;-)

Of course, there is the idea of a simple old fashioned "Flask" as a logo...... maybe even an antique flask, like a goatskin wine canteen (Zahato). That idea has some style....
