Give Scratch a branded icon

[elementaryBot]

In my opinion Scratch is more than a text editor. It is a code editor and it can be extended to a full blown IDE. Furthermore the actual icon reminds me of a note-taking app.

Harvey's icon is way better take a look :

Yes you're right it could also be confused with a terminal icon. I think the best icon would be something which shows development something like the xcode icon.

A similar icon like this would match : http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/049/b/c/sublime_text_by_davi_1-d4q4w17.jpg

It has indentation, syntax colouring and a pen on it.

maybe just remove the pen?and split it one half like it's now and one half with a look similar to the proposed?

I honestly have no problems with the current icon, but what if you replaced the paragraphs with a large pair of curly braces? that's perfectly readable at small sizes/low-dpi, and represents code pretty well.

Messing around with something a little

I kind of want to see solarized light and the braces on the current one with the pencil tbh. but yeah, that's what I'm talking about. sick.

edit: what if the icon had a headerbar in it to represent an app/window? then the pencil and braces would sort of tell the story "edit, code, in window"
