ocaml icon

ocaml icon

[Vu Ngoc San]

After installing ocaml on windows, I've be shocked by the old fashioned icon 
that appears on the desktop. To say it frankly, compared to the other icons 
showing up on the desktop, it seems quite ugly.

Is there somewhere any good replacement for it ?

Well, this was an incentive to learn inkscape and draw my own icon...

Here is what I could come up with:
http://ocean.univ-rennes1.fr/perso/san.vu-ngoc/images/ocaml-icon.png

This is based on the icon I found at
http://www-roc.inria.fr/who/Francois.Clement/icon/JoeCaml.png

What do you think ;) ?

That looks great.  Where upstream does this go?  INRIA?

I'm not sure. I actually prefer the old icon. On the old icon, the
caml looks like a cool guy (or animal), on this new icon it looks (in
my eyes) as a pretentious basard. I think the bigger glasses look
pretentious, and the spiky ears remove the cute factor (round ears ->
teddy bear).
Also I don't like the colors, wich are colder and grayer.

My two cents.
