Yes all the other icons seem very intuitive and you guys have been
doing great work with this but this one I think might confuse someone.

Hehe sounds like Fun! I don't think we have to replace all of them or
at least not at one shot (at least not for something as obscure as
this one) because it is a lot of work. I think the old icon is pretty
clean in its meaning, it would be nice if we could have something just
like it but Tangoised.
