Happy new year all! And congratulations Seb - I really like the icons. I would prefer the one with the two cogs, because: * The jigsaw piece concept is often used for browser extension icons * The single cog is often used for widget icons * Two cogs often get used for widget icons as well, but less so than single cog. And I've sen two cogs get used a lot for APIs as well, so there is already some kind of defacto standard there * Is it a bit more interesting than the single cog ;-) Any more comments on the double cog icon? If we can get agreement on this quickly, I can have a go at implementing the API landing page this week, and adding it to the main page.

Here's a second proposal with an interlocking cog. I'm looking for a way to use hubs but we don't have a lot of space. > > <WPD-API-icon-draft2.png> > > Seb > > > Le 4 janv. 2013 à 01:43, Scott Rowe <scottrowe@google.com> a écrit : > >> Hi Seb, >> >> I think this icon is headed the right direction. Maybe all it needs is another interlocking cog, or maybe two - all of different sizes. The teeth could be smaller.

I'm not very happy with the concept lying under the icon but we need a start.
