Design scale/rotate/translate/shear icons

completed by: Marc Tannous

mentors: Kesha Shah, Hardeep Singh Rai

BRL-CAD is a 3D modeling systems where one is very often performing edits on geometry using common matrix transformations that scale, rotate, translate (move), and shear (skew) geometry. We need good application icons to indicate those actions

Define a set of useful icons that we might want to use in our main GUI application (e.g., on a top toolbar). Submit the icons in a raw editable format (e.g., SVG, AI, PSD, or XCF) as well as an overview of them all in PNG format.

The icons should be scalable at least from 16x16 through 128x128 while maintaining a clean appearance.
