Automatically guess an appropriate icon?

Thanks for stylecloud, it produces awesome results!

One thought: rather than defaulting to a specific icon, could you scan through the common words above a certain minimum threshold, in order, and see if any match the name of an icon? (You could still have a fallback in case none match.) That seems likely to produce amusing, self-describing results; the word describing the icon used as a mask will also appear large in the image.

@joshtriplett This is a brilliant idea, but wondering how much it'd impact performance especially speed!

This is a pretty cool idea! :)

Unfortunately, it's not trivial to add with the current way the text is pipelined. Would have to look into it.
