Very nice! I like that idea, but thought
perhaps you could try implementing that into the sparkle ones. I agree
that the icons should be similar, but show a difference. However the up
arrow looks a little too much like a house to me. Makes me think of the
"home" folder.
Well, just some ideas.

I really liked the version with the computer on top :-) Another idea would be
to use the orange version for normal updates and the red version for urgent
updates.

This is what I have in mind for software-update-available and the

The exclamation mark in the bottom one is kinda hard for me to see/understand

I suggest that we might somehow add the newness sparks flying out
metaphor that is often used in other icons to indicate new something.
Like, for example, a sparking new computer inside the up arrow.
Might that be a good idea?

Firefox uses various circles with up arrows on them (green for
extension upgrades, red for browser updates). We could adapt one of
these ideas, since people are familiar with their associations with
updates due to the popularity of both products.
Yes this is true!

Hi Étienne,
My suggestion to change the icon would be to humanize a tango icon:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/apps/system-software-update.svg
It seems like a decent metaphor although I am not sure how well it would work
at 16x16. That is the best thing about

That's probably not a good idea, since it's a metaphor based on language
