Need a simple graphic for Dev Tools. I'm not sure of the existing visual ID around this feature set, so am looking for you guys for guidance. Thanks!

This is currently the icon associated with it on our website: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/technology/

Not sure if it's an official visual ID per se, but it's all I could point to.  Perhaps Patrick or LoMo have other thoughts here?

I think it's fine.  

A more nuanced view (as you're asking me) would be that a spanner or screwdriver seem to be the other commonly accepted ways of describing tools visually and that a spanner would probably be slightly better fit for this offering (speaks to adjusting) but I am fine to go the hammer icon.

Great!  Thanks Patrick, perhaps then in the interest of time (and consistency) we should keep the same icon. 

What is our timeline here?  Since it's a simple resizing, I'll ask Rhonda to help us with this.  should be quick.

Slater/Lee, do you guys have the source files for those icons?

Timeframe: pre Fx 10 which launches next Tuesday on 1/31. However having it by the end of the week so we can get it locked and loaded would be great.

We just need the icon - no dotted lines, no text under the icon. 40x50 png. Thanks!
