[open-energy] Icons

[Jonathan Gray]

I'm also very pleased to introduce Uli Schöberl, a Berlin-based
designer [1] who would like to help with making the icons!

Gregor: would you be happy to fill in Uli (and the list) about what
icons you currently need, and the visual style you are going for?

Uli: perhaps you have some ideas on what you could do (or what you
might be interested in doing)?

A big welcome to Uli! ;-D
