I wouldn't immediately recognize the round curly thing as a shell, and if I 
did I would recognize it as a "schelp" and I do not associate "schelp" with 
command shell. (I must admit that I have no idea what the dutch word for 
'command shell' is.)

I think "> _" as in your last icon makes a good prompt, I would make the 
prompt slightly smaller and use the perspective of the first icon.
