A minor issue: the design idea for the icon bears some resemblance to
the icon of the commercial Textures application from Blue Sky TeX
systems.
See for example <http://www.bluesky.com/news/220b.html> for the color
version (the application icon is shown in the screenshot of the Show
Info window at the top of the page) and <http://www.bluesky.com/news/news.html
> for the grey scale version.
The icon dates back to the late 1980s when the application, owned by
Addison-Wesley and having their logo as icon, moved to the newly
created Blue Sky Research and got its icon (the uppercase T in a
rectangular frame).
Not sure that's really a problem, though, given Textures seems dead by
now (no new beta version for almost 9 months).
