Some dynamic element is missing, like a pencil, for example, to indicate that it's an application for editing such files.

  The uppercase K is crisper at 100% size, so I think that's better than the lowercase k. The lowercase a still looks the best because of the empty space around it.
  
  The idea with the pen is interesting, but there needs to be something to fill up that empty space.
