Personally, I prefer the "style" of Jef's emblem icon set over the current set to a rather sizable degree. They make use of an immediately more recognizable image for each emblem and seem more integrated and modern compared to other included graphics in the Distro.
Eric's 'colored' update is an improvement on the originals BUT many of them are too simplistically stylized to properly indicate their meaning, imo. For example. if I were not to read the descriptions beneath (and when in use, keep in mind that these emblems don't have a text description) the multimedia emblem looks like a ladder to me, the Certified almost looks like a clock, the Package looks like a t-shirt, and the art emblem draws to mind a flukeworm rather than a paint brush! I would really be happy with a more photo-realistic direction in this area. I, also, think the circle behind the emblem tends to make the images appear oversized. When combined with the object on which they are placed it tends to create a rather unbalanced feeling, imo. Rather than using a shape to tie them all together perhaps an overall 'color tint' could be used to indicate their function instead.
