just some random thoughts:

I like the idea of using a checkmark, but only for save and close. For 
me a checkmark means "everything is ok, go ahead" and I would expect 
something on the screen to change.

I think a bit of a problem is that TYPO3 has "save", "save and close" as 
well as "save and new" icons and it's not easy to find something that 
can be used for all three to show they still belong together but mean 
different things.

BTW, I never recognized the thunderbird icon for saving and I doubt that 
  I would know what it meant if not for the text below it.

Pretty discouraging for finding a new icon is a quick google search for 
small images called "save icon" - guess what you will find ;) No 
creativity out there.

Susanne
