Hello Christoph, 

Actually please leave the icon, so that the person using the community
logo can make the call of whether text only makes sense for a given
usage - which I would propose is most likely to be only when needing to
go small. When it fits, inclusion of the icon, IMO, makes for a better
overall logo.

There is not a great deal of time pressure to coming up with a TDF icon
graphic is there?

Thanks

Drew
