Hi, sending an update.
-Small changes in mimetypes icons.
-Set of flat icons approximately 90% complete (I accept suggestions of
concept to the icons of the analysis menu)

the most consistent and at least 3 different colors.
-Finally, my idea of the application icon is a pie chart (simple and
representative). Reading documentation about it, high-resolution icons
go through a 3D modeling (blender), so that I do not be so dramatic,
but represent a good foundation.
I have had a look through all the artwork. I am not a graphic designer, but
here are my comments:
The files named aplication-x-spss-* are misspelled ("application" has two Ps)
The gnome guidelines recommend NOT putting the paper background for icons
unless they have something to do with a physical piece of paper.

The application-x-spss-sav and application-x-spss-por icons differ only in
colour. This would make it impossible for someone with colour blindness or
with a monochrome monitor to distinguish. I suggest you make the distributions
depicted in these icons different shapes. Simply flipping the image might be
the
easiest way to do this.
I don't understand why there are directories under "scalable" with a resolution
eg
scalable/24x24 - this seems like a contradition to me.
Whilst I rather like the menu icons in hicolor/scalable/24x24 the monochrome
look doesn't seem to
fit with the "hicolor" theme, which is the default. Thresholding would make
them suitable for the
high contrast theme. With a bit of colour added I think they would be great
for the hicolor
theme.
Some of them are duplicating icons which are already available in Gnome. Eg:
Help, Edit-Cut etc.
I think it is best to use the system's icons where available. So we only need
to do icons for
the PSPP specific stuff such as data-weight-cases, transpose-data,
variable-nominal etc.
If these are to be distributed as part of PSPP, there is some legal mumbo-jumbo
which has
to be dealt with. I think it might be slightly different for artwork than with
code. I'm
sure Ben will have more to say about this.
I added the mimetype icons to my system, and they look really cool!
I'd like to see these in PSPP.
