I recently committed a couple of changes to the Icon Naming Spec, the largest of which is the addition of how to name device-specific icons, in the description of the Devices context. Also added were a few new base device icon names, such as scanner and camera-web. The text from the spec on how to name device-specific icons is as follows:
Icons for hardware that is contained within or connected to the computing device. Naming for extended devices in this group, is of the form <primary function>-<manufacturer>-<model>. This allows ease of fallback to the primary function device name, or ones more targeted for a specific series of models from a manufacturer. For example, a theme author may want to provide icons for different phones. The specific model icons could be named “phone-samsung-t809”, “phone-motorola-rokr”, and “phone-motorola-pebl”. However, the theme must provide a phone icon in the theme's style, so that devices not matching these models, will still have an appropriate icon. An exception to this rule is that the “media” icons do not need to include manufacturer names, as they are generic items, and may be available from many manufacturers. As a result, for media, the specific icons are to differentiate between different specific types of media. For exmaple, an artist may wish to provide icons for BluRay, DVD, HD-DVD, CD-ROM, and variations thereof. The specific media type icons should be named in the form, <primary function>-<specific format>. Some examples are “media-optical”, “media-optical-bd” and “media-optical-dvd”. If there are any issues or concerns, please present them, so that we may resolve them as quickly as possible.
