Using IIS Express as my development server in Visual Studio 2012, I notice a rather odd-looking silvery-blue icon appear in my system tray. It turns out this is the IIS Express icon, as shown the the following image (the IIS Express icon is on the left):
What is this icon supposed to represent? For about a week I thought it was a stylised S, now it looks more like a tin can being crushed by a robot hand.
The icon illustrates a stack of blue blocks with the words:
"INTEGRATED TOOL"
"DATABASE ENGINE"
"FRAMEWORK WEB APPS"
"WEB SERVER"
Icon in a higher resolution:
IIS Express Icon
I found it on this website.
