Attached is an updated set of icons.
1. They increase contrast between the chat status color and the
envelope colors.
2. They add slight spacing around the chat status to make the shapes
clearer.
Two other bug fixes will also improve the appearance:
3. By mistake, the previous icons were too small and a bit blurry.
David Calle fixed that yesterday.
4. The "Available" icon appears by default even when you're offline.
Ken VanDine will fix that soon, so that by default you get just the
envelope. Bug 1046360
I propose that we look into these icons in more detail for 13.04 and
will file and target a bug.

Title:
Messaging menu title icons are indistinct
Status in “ubuntu-mono” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
ubuntu-mono 0.0.45, Ubuntu Q
1. gthumb /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/*/user-* /usr/share/icons
/ubuntu-mono-*/status/*/indicator-messages-*
What you see:
A. Humanity's standalone IM status icons are a bit hard to see against
a white background -- such as Empathy's status menu -- because the
tops of the icons are white with no outline.
B. The corresponding emblems are similarly hard to see against the
light grey, black, or blue envelopes in Ubuntu Mono's messaging menu
icons. <http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/08
/new-icons.jpg> The Offline and mixed-status icons are particularly
bad.
C. The "Invisible" icons and emblems have a pure black or white
interior, which just looks weird. <http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk

D. The "Available" and "Away" icons look bigger than the others.
What you should see:
A. All the icons, while beautiful, are robust enough to be thoroughly
distinct against a white, light grey, or dark grey background.
B. The icons remain simple enough that in emblem form they are
thoroughly distinct against a bright blue, light grey, or dark grey
background. If necessary, the envelope could have an emblem-shaped
chunk bitten out of its bottom right corner, to make the emblem
distinct.
C. The "Invisible" icons and emblems have a transparent interior.
D. All the chat status icons look the same size.
