grain silo

This is a hilariously awkward suggestion. At the scale of the average save icon, what do you think a grain silo symbol would look like?

    like this?

    drawing a grain silo doesn't mean you have to draw the grains.

    Honestly probably the most universally recognizable save symbol in the end, certainly if I had to go back in time and establish contact with an ancient people and teach them Intuit Quickbooks or other tax accounting software to run a cutthroat tax accounting operation using timetravel to access low cost labor that would be the icon I would choose for saving.
