Ooh, I actually really like this concept!
I do have two points of feedback: 1) Relative proportions/sizing will probably need to be adjusted so that the logo scales nicely to typical icon sizes (64x64, 32x32), or maybe there could be a couple of versions. 2) It seems like we need something to distinguish the icon from "general terminal emulator", though I'm not really sure what that would be.
I also really like this!
I would suggest using some kind of vector graphics (SVG). This makes it really simple to export the logo in different sizes without having weird scaling issues.
@torwart I really do like that icon! Great work
(re setting icons, I don't think that's something rustc supports. I'm pretty sure Windows is actually rather unique in allowing executable files to embed their own icons. There could certainly be a build script to perform whatever icon setting actions are needed for the platform though.)

@SebastianKeller Is there any way to export this is as SVG? (using CS2, yep very old)
@torwart Sorry, my Photoshop skills are non existent :)
@SebastianKeller Oh thats not a problem ;)
Does anyone know if GIMP exports to SVG and/or Inkscape opens PSD files?
@torwart, I love the terminal style of the icon, I just wonder if it might get mistaken for a terminal emulator? Right now to someone who doesn't know iota already, the icon suggests a terminal, but not really text editing. Maybe it doesn't actually matter. Either way, I do really like this approach so far.
@Crespyl Oh that's what you mean it also would not be the problem to change the text to iota();

Would it be possible to remove the gradient background around the actual terminal part?
takeover from #72. This is what I get using Photoshop. I hope first you like it and second that Rust is able to set Icons?
This 500x500 pixels (this has an white background layer, will be removed). Colors taken from the old screenshot. If you want to edit something, say it!
