Blatant begging for artistic assistance

Hi Dave,

I'll ask our designer to make few mockups tomorrow,
after all, this is his chance to become famous ;)

Hello Dave,

Hey, folks, I need a bit of help from some of the more creative of
y'all. I need an icon created for my next plugin, tenatively named
ThreadScrozzler.

I'll try it :)

Thanks, guys. If it helps, I've renamed it ThreadScrambler, for clarity and ease-of-understanding by non-native English speakers. Other than the icon and some tuning, it's ready to ship.

Waw... You have more that one life! :)
.. I have no time to developer even small plugin... :(

Hello Dave,

See Attached icons. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Dave, well,
I promissed to ask our designer to make something,
but he seems to be to bussy with crawling up our boss's ass,
so he is missing some inspiration..
I'll ask him once again, it may help..

ThreadScrozzler.

As background, ThreadScrozzler will enable you to run tests or
applications in a JVM with a large number of artificially induced context
switches. Using bytecode insertion at heuristically chosen program
execution points, ThreadScrozzler will cause your program code to randomly
emit Thread.yield() and Thread.sleep() calls. Doing so doesn't effect
program correctness, but will greatly increase the chance of your tests
finding any race conditions or deadlocks. ThreadScrozzler doesn't create
new tests or output any information, it just enhances the usefulness of
your existing tests, allowing you to find issues that normally occur only
under high load using isolated, repeatable, and cheap tests.
ThreadScrozzler will work with unit, functional, or system tests, work as
an IDEA plugin, build task, or stand-alone, and will be usable by both
developers and testers.

From within IDEA, ThreadScrozzler will present itself as just another run
type, like "Run", "Debug", and "Profile" (if you've got the JProfiler
plugin). ThreadScrozzler was surprisingly simple to write, except that
run types require icons, which I am simply incapable of creating. That's
why I'm asking for help. I was thinking something like the the green
"Run" triangle, but with a jagged tear through it. If you've got a better
idea, that would be cool too.

I hate doing this, but I'm afraid my artistic skills are non-existent. If
you would like a little piece of your work helping the community and
showing up at the top of everyone's screen, this is your chance.

Thanks.
