Looking at it, it doesn't suggest "invitation" at all, but mailserver configuration (which we actually do have in the "General" administrative category). A good option would be to actually make a new category for the mailserver settings and use one of these icons. Searching for "Invitation" on Google Image Search, I noticed two things: - invitation envelopes have a ribbon + knot on them, and they don't usually get sent via landmail (thus no stamps nor postal markings) - invitations start with handwritten "You're Invited" (see http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7DmaO_QbCcmK0M:http://www.misquincemag.c… for an example) So, a suggestion would be to eliminate the stamp and instead use a ribbon around the envelope. Another suggestion would be to use an open envelope and a letter with You're Invited on it. Also, I'm not sure the XWiki (SAS) logo should be there, since normally people using XWiki don't see that logo, so it's a bit confusing. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

XWiki is merely a tool which powers people's applications. It's like putting the MS Visual Studio logo in every application compiled with it. Do users know what was used to compile a binary application? Probably not. It's not entirely the same situation, but close enough. Another scenario: custom deployments. Netcipia users don't believe they use XWiki, they use Netcipia, and the X doesn't mean anything to them. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

If there aren't too many objections, I'm going to keep the current icon (#2) because the search icon to the right of it is blue and the background and annotations icon on the left are white so brown provides a good color contrast. I hate to bikeshead these kind of things while important changes to the API and the best practices are ignored. Caleb Dan Grigore wrote:
