[ux] Orbot design

n8fr8 responded on another list, and forwarded the message to me directly.
(Thanks, Nathan!)

That icon pack is pretty cool; I'm impressed at how extensive it is! Ame
and I talked it over and she will reach out to them to see if they do style
guide work. Any organization that is going to put the investment into
open-sourcing graphical assets like that is worth at least a quick chat.

Thanks for letting us know. I am not on the UX list, though maybe I, or
our design lead (Carrie) should be.

Otherwise, in this case, I was just looking for something that fit
better in the Android Material Design / Flat-style that is all the rage
these days. The hand-drawn look definitely doesn't fit there.

The icon itself came from the CC-licensed pack found here:
