Icon request: vim

[fusion809]

What can it be used for?

My main interest in it is that I am setting Font Awesome icons to describe my various workspaces in the i3 window manager. Despite this it could be used to represent the popular text editor, Vim, on a variety of websites.

I am a terrible at designing icons so I am not providing any icon.

Icon request checklist

• [x] This is a single icon or matched pair (Ex: lock / unlock)
• [x] The title starts with "Icon request: " and is followed by the requested icon name (Ex: Icon request: magical-unicorn)
• [x] I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate. Issue #7907 had a comment mentioning Vim, but the issue itself did not request a Vim icon.
• [ ] I have included at least one example image if it could be helpful (optional)
• [x] The request is for a concrete object (it's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. ☺)

Thanks for your time, Brenton

YES. I was the one who made the comment.

Designs for monochrome vim icons already exist out in the wild and could be easily ported to an svg format through vectorization. Here are two examples which could be used as starting points:
