Matias,

I am still looking for some already created icons (unfortunately I do
not have any skills in graphic design so cannot create anything).

Just to clarify the statement "The admonitions and arrows must match the
current green style."

Do you mean that all the icon's must be green?

My opinion on this is that logical functions should be grouped together
in the same colour scheme.  I strongly believe that the admonitions
should be different colours and have a different style.  My reasoning
for this is that they are supposed to suggest to the user that something
important follows.

The arrows can stay green though =p

As I said I am still trying to find existing open source icons that may
be useful.  The below icons are from the Tango Icon Gallery
(http://tinyurl.com/mj6kz) which I think could serve the purposes that
we need:

Next Page: http://tinyurl.com/28d6jq
Previous Page: http://tinyurl.com/ytxn9c
Head of Section: http://tinyurl.com/ys4hdb
Front Page: http://tinyurl.com/yqc5l9

There is a slight problem with the Front Page Icon; it isn't green
hopefully someone could colour this green or we could leave it a
different colour to stand out?

For the Admonitions I have tried to find Icons that are different shapes
to more visually state what is going on:

Note: (Magnifying Glass) http://tinyurl.com/yrmuvr
Tip: (Light Globe) http://tinyurl.com/3xr2cu
Important: (Red Triangle with Exclamation mark)
http://tinyurl.com/2dleny
Caution: (Red Circle with white horizontal line)
http://tinyurl.com/2g2mkc
Waring: (Red Hexagon with white cross) http://tinyurl.com/ysh9lu

Each of these icons has an SVG file so we can resize the icon's if
needed.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Peter.
