Excuse me for jumping in, but although the above statement tends to be correct, there's a bit of subtlety involved. On top of that, I'd like to share a small piece of history. During Edgy I spent a fair amount of time tracking down missing icons in Human and working with the professional icon designers to add these missing ones to the icon-set. If you compare Edgy to Dapper, you'll see a huge difference in icons, especially in the main menu. So, although I'm not in the position to comment on the period before or after Edgy, I very much saw a big problem in the icon set being incomplete and in collaboration with the designers I made sure that the new icons were at least in line with the existing icons regarding palette and shape. Back in the days we had a decent workflow for communicating the need for icons and seeing those new icons roll in to the distribution. One of the main tools was hosted on Daniel Holbach's server, but it seems to be down right now, the URL was: http://daniel.holba.ch/ubuntu/ic/ I really, really wanted this mail trying to be helpful, but at the moment I have no clue whatsoever as to how the artwork team operates, or whether there is something happening at all so I'm a bit at loss trying to suggest a plan of attack.
