 > Unsure about using a chart as interactive, since to me it's so tied to
 math and calculations (which I tend to associate with spreadsheets), so
 how about something more like this for interactive?

 The one on the right is awesome. Also looks like a face, not sure it
 that's intentional but it adds some character.
 > Yeah, the problem I had with using a table/grid was trying to get even
 spacing while keeping whole pixel increments. See this, for example:

 I was going to suggest numbers or something also, but that second one
 looks kind of like a calculator anyway, so I think that works (can maybe
 be interpreted as table or calculator).
 > Do we know what kinds of files show up with the "default" icon? I don't
 actually think I've ever encountered it.
 Everything not covered by another icon. Different sites will have
 different things, but they will definitely come up. Blank is probably
 fine, but maybe it would help to just put a big void square in the middle?
 It just feels out of place with the others, and being so solid it's
 different from the old icons.
 > Related — why do we differentiate between text and document formats?
 I don't know why you'd ever upload a text file (.txt) instead of just
 putting that in the content (actually, I just found a couple text files I
 uploaded to a P2, but random use-case). But they're fundamentally
 different file formats in terms of being plaintext, versus binary formats
 that have to be downloaded to be opened.
