No. That would be a horrible idea. :) Maybe instead of the notepad style
icon, put the rings on the side, and add more of them, so that it looks
like a notebook?

I mean, I think Emacs needs a strong piece of branding, which may also
be incorporated into the icon. AZ's notepad-like icons are the only ones
that I think really do that, that were propsoed, although, most people
would not really get the E/horns thing. Then again, most everyone who is
going to use Emacs anyway, is a return customer, and already knows what
it is, and that it does so much more. I'm not sure what a lisp machine
would look like as an icon though. Maybe that would be better. :)
