hello :) its Nuno not Nino :)
about the icon.... i just made it couse i thougt the curent one dosent fit at 
all with the crystal set and the other koffice icons. its not a perfect icon 
not very inpired at all, but its crystal like. and i made it couse i kinda 
liked the brush i thought it would be a waste of work to not reuseit.
 about the concepts  

professional high-quality paint tool
infinite creativity
reliability and precision

im sory but they are almost impossible to say in an icon, you can do one maybe 
2 concept 3 is totaly impossoble has those concepts are very vage.
an logo might manage that but an icon i have serius doubts.
and the crystal look is not very associated with precision, couse it tryes to 
not have sharp angles, i could try to remove the ink out of the drawing and 
repace it by a 3d grid but im sure that will not work on the 16X16 version, 
for the oxygen set we will take much more atention to your icon maybe remove 
the brush thing, but if there is no brush we nead a new metaphore and lots of 
branding efort so people recognise the logo/icon maybe a crayon? but agin not 
very associated with precision. i leave this idea for you guys what object 
describe krita beter?  
PS are you guys working in the action icons list for koffice?
