Toying with different ideas for a menu icon for a weather app. It's a simple action: clicking this brings you to a page very similar in functionality to the settings page in the standard iPhone weather app... you can add cities, reorder/edit you list, as well as change from fahrenheit to celsius, as well as a few other small things.
Given that being the page you will be going to, which icon works best? My thoughts are split down the middle... the first two mimic the "list of cities" you'll see on the next page, and the other two refer to action of adding cities as the driver to that page.
The plus variants look nice but are restrictive in that it implies only adding something - not necessarily changing or tweaking settings. The first two have essentially become the design pattern for settings/notifications/"more if you press this"

Maybe a mix of the top two ones?

I'm actually into the third one. But if you want to go standard menu-ness, then def somewhere in between 1 & 2.
