While such a unification might be good from the artists point of view it's not that good for usability. Three primary characteristics by which humans distinguish things are form, color and pattern. These icons eliminate form recognition (they are all round) and the orange set eliminates color recognition as well! While this may seem highly theoretic but I can assure that it's true in practice. I use emblems a lot for designating not only my photos, docs and music folder but also my different programming projects. Current icons work just great, I almost never think even a millisecond before clicking the right folder. New icons make me fill like I suddenly become blind :-( I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh... The icons themselves are beautiful but they aren't usable... -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
