[Tango-artists] Did I do it right?

[Taliessin Penfound]

Another way to approach it might be to completely ignore the original
logo, and make an icon more representative of the device itself. Take a
look at the attached SVG (screenshot at 
http://www.darkt.net/pic/Mindstorm%20Brainstorm.png), it's a five-minute 
quick-and-dirty
Lego brick with the media-memory icon abusively imported. It seems like
it could be a start for a generic Mindstorms app icon, maybe? I
associate the shape that's in your Mindstorms app screenshot more with
Space Invaders than a programmable Lego brick, myself.
