The important part to me is to stop portraying Base as a database,
because it is not - from working with hundreds or more of users with
Base those that thought of it as a database had very bad experiences
(meaning the Schema management and such) those that approached it as
what it was designed for, a form/report management tool had much better
experience.

It would be nice for the icon to emphasis the form/report functions and
IMO get away from the idea it is a RDBMS.

I have a very crude idea for a base icon - I'll put it to an image and
pass it along - it would only be to try and pass along my general ideas.

Thanks

Drew
