I found the icon in the elementary icons set, which you should be able to download from launchpad. https://edge.launchpad.net/~elementaryart/+archive/ppa/+packages The icons are called things like "application-msword.svg" and "application-vnd-ms-excel.svg". Perspective may not be needed - also, if anyone knows how to transform perspective with inkscape, please let me know, but I think the gradient used in the original plus a shadow as per the original may be necessary :) Look at the attached to see what I mean (i'm currently on a mac so I don't have the ubuntu font and this is just a quick sketch up anyway). You should also consider whether this implies "microsoft word" to your average user. -Chris
