It is not that - the point of the udig icon set is to use a consistent  
set of combinations.  So you change the generic vector icon you need  
to update the icons that depend on that.

So we have a good place to start; once the look of the layer (point /  
line / poly) is established; and we have a generic geometry defined we  
need to remember to update the different datastore icons to match (ie  
server + generic feature overlay).

I don't mind updating the udig icon set to match what is decided here;  
or we could go move to the [email protected] list if you like.

So there are two things to think about:
- my rant about combining poly / point / shape to represent generic is  
mostly of concern to me when I create the icon based on the current  
style (it looks like you have just drawn them with a paint program? I  
have some code that draws them based on SLD settings). As such I want  
to make sure the "point" does not get confused with the polygon or line.

One thing that I think would be powerful here is to leave the raster  
as a square shape; and see if we can make the polygon shape non square  
to tell them apart at different sizes; would a diamond work? Or would  
knocking the top left corner off the square work?
