Let's open up this discussion again with Edgy in mind. There are currently two viable sets that can be used: the Human set and the Tangerine/Tango set.
What are your reasons for selecting these two, other than the fact they are currently included in Ubuntu? I am personally a big fan of the NuoveXT icons by Alexander Moore. If the license was right and we had access to the SVGs do other people think there is any possibility of also considering these - giving us 3 to choose from? Admittedly, two Michiel mentioned are both 'Ubuntu Coloured' - however, while we know we aren't going to change far from the current Ubuntu colour scheme/identity, we may still need to do quite a lot of work to get these icons to fit properly in anyway, especially if we get less shiny... To put forward some pros for NuoveXT as Michiel did for the others: - No other distros use it or a similar theme - Available for KDE and Gnome with no extra work (and if we are to follow through on the specifications that aim to unify the *buntus this will be important - Realistic icons akin but not too similar to other modern operating systems - Though we don't have them, they must be SVGs originally as Sa-Ki states they were made with Inkscape (and on Ubuntu, if his post at Gnome-look is correct) I have CCd Alexandre Moore ( I hope that isn't against some kind of list etiquette I am unaware of) in the hope he may clear up some issues about the icons' license and whether the SVGs are available for download anywhere. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=26448 says that they are under the GPL which I believe means that the 'sourcecode' - I.E the svgs - should be available...
