As Math seems to be an independent application (with it's own file 
extension) I thought it would be necessary. Same for Chart documents.

But these thoughts derive from the Galaxy icons - I don't mind at all, 
if we stay grey/neutral with all of the less used icons.

The "empty corner" idea was only meant for template icons - document and 
application icons should have the "filled corner" as the default icons.

I thought it would be an easy approach to differentiate between 
documents and templates while keeping the branding language.

But you might be right that this could be regarded as "allowed 
modification to the symbol" for other use-cases too.

I'm indecisive at the moment - it depends on how we modify the main part 
of the icons...

I definitely do!

Good night!
