48 hours is too short. The practice is a minimum of 72 hours for a lazy consensus. (I am not arguing against your proposal.)
It would help us to actually know which "old icons" are being discussed here.

I think you are right. Changing only this icons will not be enough, the old SO icons and the MSO icons have to be changed too. Besides, adding color to the new icons does not solve the problem in the file pickers (icons are too small, and adding color won't help to distinguish file types). So I'd propose to revert the icons to the old colored ones. It's basically reverting http://hg.services.openoffice.org/OOO340/rev/b2b4215e6f9b In http://people.apache.org/~arielch/images/old-color-icons/ you can find a patch, and a tar with the old and monochrome icons. There will be some work to do, because some icons are missing, and the patch did not change the templates/extensions icons in the start center, for example; so a little research is needed (and testing, of course). If none objects, we can commit these in 48 hours, and start fixing this (instead of reinventing the wheel and creating new ones, or painting the current icons).
