+1. The problem is who would do this, and what would happen when the
community wouldn't be able to decide wheter it's good or not.

Frescobaldi's "engrave" button has a similar flower, but it's not
really recognizable at small size... My mom asked whether it's an egg
:P

Too bad that there are 3 typographic mistakes in it :(
Anyway, i think that it'd make sense to have two variants of the logo
- one full-size and one simpler for small uses. They should be
related visually.
Example: LyX. It's full logo has 3 colored letters, but the favicon
is just one. They match nicely.

I'd surely be interested in logo suggestions, but remember that it's
easy to produce a lot of wasted effort.
