However, I see your point and perhaps having some of the boxes empty would be a good balance, much as in OmniOutliner’s icon.

I'll have to think more about this. I still think it's strange that all tasks are checked = finished. =) I see your point. I’ll have to think more about this.

You're onto something. The magnifying glass should be placed more into the corner as with the other apps. And I'm not sure about all the checked tasks on the document. The point of a GTD app is to manage the tasks you haven't done yet. Icon design is <strong>hard</strong>! Yes, coconino. You’re onto something. The magnifying glass should be placed more into the corner as with the other apps.

Icon design is hard!
