This is pure Tango style. Many icons of the tango library have such a  
design.

The pen is a pure GIMP bitmap (based on a real photo, try to guess the  
model...) . It needs more work (unexpected white boundary). I added a  
TeX book blue layer.

Notice that the slot should be darker than the bottom side around.  
This is most certainly an error of the rendering engine and you won't  
be able to do anything about that.
The same for the darker regions : the bottom edge of the T is very  
similar to the bottom side of the cube, but their are enlightened  
completely differently. Rather weird.

Maybe the slot can be enlarged to be visible at size 32.

The ink plots are microscopic. I am not sure if they are really  
necessary.

Did you try to change the texture of your object?
The type is highly magnified such that we should really see some  
defects like for the fi type of my previous mail.
There are many free textures available on the net (google for images  
"texture aluminium")
In general, the dimension of the texture file is twice the one of the  
cube.

BTW, I will try to add a TeXworks label, but it is far from  
straighforward.
