I'm wondering whether the 3D perspective adds any value 
which a simple drop-down shadow wouldn't provide.
And if it does, why viewing from above ? --> suggesting 
overview, control, closeness, link to something below, etc...
A perspective skewed sideways may be more appropriate, just 
to indicate (lateral) distance.

As for the blue colour in the signal waves; there doesn't 
seem to be any general consensus on colour-code for wireless 
networking; I often see icons with green, red or blue 
symbolising wifi radio. For icons dealing with wifi 
connections, often there's red/yellow/green for symbolising 
disconnected/connecting/connected.
So, what's your take on this ? Maybe green would be more 
appropriate for LibreOffice ?
