Pd definitely needs text, text is a great, flexible symbol system for representing a massive array of words. But I also think that some iconic objects would be nice, like jMax's trigger or Max/MSP's gate.
there is another vital thing missing in the core: a knob. http://footils.org/cms/show/20
we've got button (=bang), switch (=toggle), radio-button and slider
as representations of real life input methods on a synth, mixer or
whatever electronic instrument.
there is no reason why exactly the knob should be left out.
