I agree that the early comp. sci. icon was too big and too simplistic, but it served its purpose better than the current picture of Turing. We need something that suggests computer science to a large readership, and something that looks nice at icon size (i.e., not a real photo). Maybe an icon for a

This kind of picture is the right kind of idea. It is much better at evoking "computer science" than a person or a picture of a computer. However, the image itself is hard to read because it was not meant for this scale. We need something similar, with boxes and arrows, but designed for icon size.

It's kind of... simple, too. I changed it to an image of Alan Turing, since the Turing machine was the most "universal" symbol of CS I could think of.

That will do, however I wasn't satisfied with that enormous size of 60 pixels. I decreased it, and its now 31 pixels.
