[tools-leads] Spread the word ... new "Tools Logo" icons

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A very long time ago, (Bug 370021)
 it was suggested that we, in "Tools", provide a "logo"
or set of icons that were fairly generic in meaning, but would provide
a nice "common look" where appropriate. 

Thanks to Itemis and Alexander Nyssen those icons
are now available for use. See the bug for long history and discussion,
but the short story is they are currently stored in our Tools website repo

http://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/tools.git/tree/EclipseToolsLogos
with some description provided in
http://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/tools.git/plain/EclipseToolsLogos/README.md

The primary use-case for these are for low level libraries
of "Tools features" to use as a "branding icon" so
that in the final "about box" we end up with fewer  specific
icons for each and every "framework" that has contributed to
packages. For example, GEF and Xtend might want to both use it ... they
are not normally things that and end-user would "seek out" to
install, all by themselves, as a "tool to use" (in comparison
to something like "CDT" or "Web Tools") so it makes
a lot of sense to consolidate under a common "Tools category"
(which, in the "About Box, happens to be controlled by the icon used
for branding a feature.). 

Of course, no one _has_ to use these icons (i.e. just
because you are in the "Tools Top Level Project" you do not have
to use it) ... and projects from other PMCs are welcome to use them if
they would like and feel its appropriate. 

Please comment in the bug if you have any feedback,
think there is a better location to "store" these icons for shared
use, or if you can help define "who should use" and "how
to use" these icons. 

We can make a broader announcement, such as to cross-project
list, once we get feedback from you "Tools projects". 

Much thanks!
