+Title: Smart card icons

+
+I've been working on smart card integration into Seahorse, and as part
+of that [we need icons for smart cards][]. I had fun putting together
+something today:
+
+![Smart card icons](images/gcr-smart-card.png)
+
+Obviously not perfect, but I'm happy with the result. The tools and info
+in gnome-icon-theme are really nice.
+
+At some point when the illustrious icon designers get a chance, it'd be
+cool to have a smart card icon in gnome-icon-theme. I imagine they'd
+want to fix it up or replace it. But for now this will live in the gcr
+library.
+
+[NLnet][] is sponsoring my employer [Collabora][] to work on basic smart
+card viewing and simple management in Seahorse. Shortly I'll be posting
+more goodies coming related to this, including stuff that fixes up
+Seahorse for casual users as well.
