Thanks Ken,
I'll contact you re the logo (I think this week).
For Kexi, there exists breeze's 'document' icon for databases [1], so
like in the case of other Calligra apps I see no need for redesigning.
Generic icons are usually better, also because we aim for standards,
e.g. ODF should be ODF no matter if opened/created by Calligra or LO
or MSO.
As you might remember Kexi uses non-file databases too so it brings
this variant too. [2]
