Generally a 3-d perspective shot is no good for smaller icons, so a simpler
rendering which reminds the eye of the perspective rendering is acceptable.
For examples of this, see the Breathe submissions page or look through the
icons available so far.

Cory has put much emphasis on "realism", so ideally you should ideally
create an icon which looks like an Ubuntu-logo-shaped object (which means
3D, yes; but not necessarily made as a 3D model).
