      Atheistically, the "Create New Layer" icon is too similar to the "Create New Sublayer" icon. I end up second guessing which is which more than I want to admit and have to hover over them to remember.

      This is what Illustrator has used and it easily recognizable at first glance what its purpose is. I'm not saying it HAS to be this

      Here are three potential solutions to the icon that I roughly assembled that could work as a "new layer" icon and give that quick look contrast to the adjacent symbol for "Create New Sublayer"
