[Simon Wells <swel024@xxxxxxxxx>]

just in regards to the footprint icon, one potential issue i see with
it is its very similar to the 3d module icon as seen in cvpcb, which
could confuse some new users. could you not have a footprint (either
in real world-ish colours or in pcbnew colours) a dip-6 and/or a
soic-6 could be used and have the pads/silk/mask etc... and maybe a
refdes?

Not sure if i am making sense, but i am also not a designer :)
