Better icon for Talks?

[sbibauw]

I am not totally convinced by the "Talks" icon (fa-comment-o, a "speech bubble"), which does not feel adequate for academic presentations (association with the idea of comments and chit-chat is too strong). I wonder if other feel the same?

I think the best option would be to have a fa-presentation or fa-keynote icon, for instance showing a projection screen (it has been requested on Font Awesome, but does not seem to be coming anytime soon... (Maybe there is a possibility to have it added to Academicons?)

This said, I think other icons would still be more adequate than the current comment option, in particular:

• glyphicon glyphicon-blackboard (from Bootstrap) is offering a very good "presentation screen" icon
• fa-calendar (it makes it clear that it is a talk at a [scientific] event)
• fa-microphone

(Note: I found today the glyphicon glyphicon-blackboard icon, which I find the best solution. I updated my original post accordingly.)

Thanks for investigating alternative icons. I've pushed an update to use the calendar icon since this is more consistent with that used on popular event platforms like Facebook and Meetup. Glyphicons are not so ideal as the new version of Bootstrap no longer uses the Glyphicon library, should we update Bootstrap in the near future.
