You could use any one of the things you mentioned Carter. With as big as it is going to be I think that I would have the word *portfolio* visible so that people know what your convention stands for. This way you don't really have to worry too much about people understanding. What is clear to me isn't necessarily clear to everyone else. Like the time a winter sporting goods company use a different convention for their icons. Instead of using a little shopping cart graphic, they use a little dog sled. No body understood what it was. When they changed back to standard icons, sales increased by a sizeable margin.

So, be creative, but stay within a certain convention, or keep it clear somehow. You have the word *portfolio* popup on the rollover. You, however, may want to make this visible from the onstart so that people understand that this link is for your portfolio page.

I do like the briefcase idea!
