I really like this, and the notion of having a text document somewhere 
(this would also accord with Apple Icon Dogma too, I think), but maybe 
things could be simplified even further by beheading Goofy Robot Guy, 
and placing his severed head next to the text document instead of the 
pen? This sort of makes a kind of metaphorical sense, I think, since 
both the pen and Goofy Robot Guy represent tools with which the 
document can be edited. (And of course braces or some other 
representation of structured text could be added to the text document 
itself.)
