Comment 5 for bug 400997

I agree with Martin's comments, except that I think that a pencil is a good icon, and that what needs to change is the way it's drawn.

In one of the wireframes I've seen, a pencil is drawn with a black outline and a white interior. This looks great! The problem with the current pencil icon and the one in beuno's mockup is that the border of the pencil is the colour of the background, which makes it look like a gap, not a border.
