This icon is very similar to the current New icon in JMeter toolbar.

=> application-x-plasma.png is my preference.

Even if it's not a wizard, my preference goes to tools-wizard3.
It should encourage people to try it .

In that case I would opt for tools-wizard-3.

Hi Felix,
I am afraid the meaning of those icons may not be intuitive enough.
What we want here is an icon "already known" for users of popular softwares
for a feature similar to Wizard although not exactly wizard.

I think the contrast of that icon is too low. I can't really see the
yellow ring on the paper.
Another idea would be to use the stamp icon from gimp (maybe on a paper
like http://people.apache.org/~fschumacher/template_draft_stamp.png) or
a single prefilled page like the front page of the copy icon (maybe with
a green checkmark on the right top corner, see
http://people.apache.org/~fschumacher/template_draft_prefilled_page.png).
I haven't checked the license for the stamp from gimp, so we maybe have
to draw our own stamp.
