Hmm!
IMHO please consider the following 
- usualy the terminal background is black or white. blue has sort of bad 
meaning for many users (BSOD)
- the shell is not recognizable for small and tiny icons and meaningfull 
only for unix users, windows does not call it "shell" but "command" and in 
german the term shell (Schale, Muschel) is not used for Terminal or Konsole  
and as such no association is possible. 
BTW the yellow shell reminds me to a big petrol company.

just my 2c
