[rekonq] Rekonq icon

[andrea diamantini]

Hi Ken,
and sorry for the VERY LATE reply. I took a look to your work, I thought
about, I took my time... and I think that rekonq icon is Lionel's one. Let
me please explain this.
In our early days, we had an easy icon done by a child (one of rekonq first
supporters). Then Lionel started thinking about implementing a new one. He
thought a lot about and we discuss a lot of times: the world, the blue, the
dragon with red eyes embracing it and so on.
Given this, you are allowed and I am personally very happy about someone
working on the icon. But I think the dragon should stay in the position it
is in Lionel's one. Main target of a new icon should be rewamp and
simplificate it.
Hope I clarified my opinion about.

Regards,
