Here's some more bike shedding: The shape overall is almost OK, it is
clear even at the favicon size. The EMU part could be a bit bigger to
be more readable, if possible. But the black edges somehow remind me
of Win 3.1 icons and primary colors without any effects are uncool.
Red/blue version is not so bad.
