*My opinion doesn't matter*, but I would like to _remark_ that I find
these examples much more intuitive than the current icons.
With the current icons I get confused, often opening the footprint
editor when expecting pcbnew, etc. I've come to accept that an open book
or diary implies somehow the "Library Editor" which doesn't immediately
register in my mind is for editing schematic symbols.
The screenshot you attached was much clearer to me -- however -- I
wonder if "human footprint" makes the same connection as "component
footprint" in the variety of human languages that kicad serves.
I guess I'm not really saying anything conclusive, except that your
attachment basically helped to put in to words what I felt about the
current icons.
Also, a slight spacing between the groups of icons would be helpful, I
would think. Right now all icons have the same spacing between them,
however if there were space between library editor and pcbnew, and space
between footprint editor and the "extra tools" then I think it would be
even clearer.

Dear All,
few years have passed since the last main Kicad icon restyling. In my
opinion, the current icons are serving us quite well except for very
few which could use a little face lift.
The few icons that make me particularly itchy are the main Kicad icons
for which this very imposing pencil does not play very well. I know
that some of your really want a pencil to suggest that those tools are
for editing. The truth is that now a days icons can be a little more
subtle.
I'd like to propose these new set of icons for the main KiCad toolbar.
Please let me know what you think and please if there is anybody who
wants to help out please, now is the moment.
Cheers
Fabrizio
