Plus, because you are making an icon, you'll get best results when
following tango guidelines (it even has suggested workflow videos):

Hope this helps as well :-)

Holy mother of all things concise and well organized! Thanks for the link.

That's a Thanks to you both sooo much. For some reason, I blew past our wiki on logo design thinking it was only for redesigning Fedora echo icon work w.o thinking to apply guidelines to any FOSS project! I hope to have a re edited version up soon!
