I would like to ask the "powers that be" to keep the old and trusted icons. They never failed me and the gui is quite uplifting. The new set may be technically better but is not as friendly to users.
Please keep both.

I have to look at them in detail to see the differences. And there's still MSSQL and Oracle icons to be created in the new schema which using this system will only confuse things more. Don't get me wrong, I like the style of the new icons, but they're really hard to visually differentiate. I did a quick google and came across this: http://turbomilk.com/blog/cookbook/icon_design/10_mistakes_in_icon_design/ The QGIS icons do all of the top three things.
