The icons suck, and the metaphors suck. They have to be replaced
Very counterproductive and negative approach.
Free software design has a little growing room, and you could get in on
the ground floor by providing positive techniques to overcome these
sorts of issues.
Perhaps offering up a design plan, an alternative, or something to build
on might be more applicable?
There are many that _might_ agree with your position, however, the
manner in which you state it will garner zero attention. It doesn't
take much effort for a seagull to fly over and poop on the crowd below.
It _does_ take a good deal of effort to engage the issues and work to
resolve them.
Once again, it is always easier to tear down than build upwards.
I AM offering suggestions:
You ARE bashing other people work while offering suggestions and it
is not the best way possible to do it.
I said the orange disks are too featureless and so they don't stand out
from each other, which defeats their purpose.
I said that the current drawings on the emblems are oversimplified and
that it is difficult to recognize what they represent, let alone what
they stand for. I also said that some are ugly, which I believe is
indeed a problem.
Again I don't think the word ugly is a good choice here, not very
good in my opinion would sound a lot better.

By the way, the idea to relate icons with locales is an excellent idea,
although I'm afraid we don't have the power to bring it forward. It
would have to be proposed and defended somewhere upstream.
Upstream doesn't have enough man power as well atm.
