[PD] some alternative PD icons for OS X

[Anthony Saunders]

Funny thing is, I was using a similar metaphor for the icon design.

at least in three of them where the art is aligned this way, there are 
straight lines going "into" the PD box and warped patterns above it.

Personally, I like the flat-but-not-flat colorful Aqua looking icons 
rather than the spigot, but it's all a matter of preference. It also 
maintains a certain visual line when I see it in a row with SoundHack, 
Safari, Mail.app, Finder, and Textwrangler, for example.
