thanks for all the work on these new icons!<br>
Have to admit I have to get used to yet another icon style (since KDE1 :P),<br>
but I start to like also this generation ;)<br>

</span>I also prefer this "traditional" style set over the other, so +1 on that :)<br>
<br>
Reason is that I dislike the "suite" idea and rather see Calligra as a set of<br>
individual apps for individual purposes which just are smart to share lots of<br>
code :) (and that "office" suite model idea that MS brainwashed people into<br>
sucks, as it creates a rather artificial grouping)<br>

</span>I fear the Plan icon(s) look too much like one of a pure calendaring/dates<br>
application. Ideally it would also somehow represent the aspect of resource<br>
planning and dependency management, being the core purpose of Plan.<br>
Perhaps using some Gantt iconics like it was done for the icon version with<br>
the color-coded icon set would work?<br>
For helping with characteristics, how would you do the icon for KOrganizer?<br>
Perhaps the currently proposed icon would fit that app better?<br>
<br>
The Flow icon also seems too far away from the aspect that Flow is for<br>
diagramming and flowcharting. The concept of stencils is missing for me, at<br>
least this is the icon I had to guess the hardest what it is for, and still<br>
have to teach me that. And the arrows hide for me usually, I always see a<br>
wheel or the cutting wheel like shape in the middle ;)<br>
(And the four colors in the four corners make me think of Windows software ;)<br>
).<br>
It seems a nice idea especially given the name "Flow" of the application,<br>
though :) If the arrows would be less hidden by also having at least a little<br>
arrow shape on the outside, perhaps it might work better, and also give a more<br>
unique shape for better discoverage of the icon? Still, just arrows might need<br>
too much thinking to bridge the icon to diagramming and flowcharting.<br>
<br>
I first had to decode the Stage icon, but now that I got it, it makes sense to<br>
me immediately when I see it. Like it a lot, for uniqueness and symbolism :)<br>
<br>
Braindump icon looks funky as well to me :)<br>
<br>
Author and Words, well, tough thing, look okayish to me, distinct enough to<br>
know which one is for normal writing and which for poetry :)<br>
<br>
Karbon one seems fine to me as well :)<br>
<br>
Kexi is nice in its minimalism, though perhaps too much "db!" only. But<br>
Jarosław is your man here :)<br>
<br>
The Sheets icon is interesting, not in love with it, but could work.<br>
<br>
<br>
TL;DR I would like another concept for the Plan icons; the Flow icon should be<br>
touched more as well<br>
<br>
