Hi Bernhard, hi Paulo, Just a quick comment, since writing from my mobile. I think the other 256px icons don't need that much love (but Math perhaps), since they are rarely (never used) on the desktop - or in Marketing material. Resizing should work well, I think. In this case, the small document icon for the status bar is more visible (request by Kohei).
Paulo, the work items link (other mail) was meant to provide more information on the branding plans - of course, no need to pick all topics and making the need for a team superflous :-) Thanks!
