Editor Icon

   This is a TRON-inspired icon for a code editor. I've chosen to use a pencil instead of some sort of futuristic stylus because it is synonymous with "edit".

   I'm looking for some critical feedback to improve it further, thanks!

   I think the pencil makes it a bit dissonant. I think the futuristic stylus is the way to go.

   The glare seems a little harsh.

   I'd see about making the entire black portion much darker. I'm thinking iMac-with-the-screen-turned-off-darker. And loose the pencil, I agree with Wade - you're not going to be drawing on you uber cool Tron tablet with a graphite pencil. What about ditching the pencil metaphor altogether (even a stylus seems archaic at this point) and just showing a text edit cursor marker and an uber cool Tron inspired on-screen keyboard?

   But damn this does look cool, and if it were real, I'd want one.

   @Zach Awesome, thanks man, good call. I'll iterate on the current version :) I was thinking about making portions of this glow, and adding it on top.

   @Alden Thank you! Excited to be here (finally).
