some people on the list talked about the icon and it seemed they didn't like it very much. i dont hate the old icon but it also doesnt impress me every time i see it, so over the weekend i had too much freetime and fired up inkscape to play around a bit. here is the result, i would like to hear some opinions how you like it or not. its inspired a bit by subethaedits icon and by the color-circle one posted here on the list and so i filled it purple to fit the gap. :)
One observation, FWIW: put this icon in the Dock and compare it with the icons for Mail, TextEdit, iCal. Do this with Justin's version of the gear key icon as well. Notice how the gear key icon appears to tilt in the same direction as Apple's icons? I think that's a nice detail to have.
