Description Seth Nickell 2001-10-01 20:18:39 UTC 
The "Main" icon currently uses a body part. Body parts (hands, arms, feet,
heads, eyes) should be avoided because various cultures will find them
offensive or insensitive. In user testing the toolbox icon faired well, so
perhaps either a toolbox or just a tool itself should be focused on. There
is really no need for the hand (plus the way the hand is holding the wrench
looks very agressive).
