I love the new icon!… the 128×128 version doesnt look really good…

Nice work, though your drawing looks less closely to a real puffin than the original icon.
IMHO, the head should be more round, you should leave the stroke near the eye, and the beak should stay bicolor.

@ Emmanuel: Hmm, you might be right, but I think I’ll wait for further comments and improvement ideas, especially from the Scilab people.

Hello Cube and others,
I must say that I really like your work.
Just a few comments:
* like Emmanuel, I would prefer a more round head (like in the Real World)
* the beak should be closer from the reality
for example:

Otherwise, if you have time of course, we would also be interested in a “second puffin” with more “3D apparency” like:

Hey Sylvestre,
Yes, I’ll resize the head, good idea!
