Comment (by antonela):

 As we signed the last meeting, I worked in some options to chose:

 1. This is [https://design.firefox.com/icons/viewer/#delete, Firefox's
 Delete icon]. I included it as an option; some of the reasons are
 described
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28800#comment:8, here].

 2. As suggested by acat in comment:9, I've tried a version with the
 [https://design.firefox.com/icons/viewer/#forget, Firefox's Forget icon].
 We experienced some issues in the past using Firefox's feature icon (Tor
 Browser Security Settings shield vs. Firefox Content Blocking shield). My
 recommendation is not using the same icon Firefox is using for different
 features. Instead of being simpler for users, it becomes confusing. If
 Firefox's Forget feature becomes at some point a Tor Browser's New
 Identity, then we can share icons.

 3. I did a Clean icon here. Some of the reasons are described
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28800#comment:8, here].
 It could work.

 4. I did a literal New Identity icon, with a regular ID and a plus icon.

 We're not renaming this feature in this iteration. Maybe, is a path to
 explore during TB 9.5.
