Hi Jakub,

The icons look quite good.  I notice that you've redrawn the arrow for
these icons rather than maintaining the shape of the original.  I
wonder if they'd look better if they maintained the original shaping
but used the Tango colour palette?

There is an SVG version of the logo available at
http://bazaar-vcs.org/LogoOptions that might be helpful.

One other thing to consider is the potential uses for such icons.
Some things I can think of are:

1. an icon for "bundle" files.  Perhaps combine Bazaar branding with
the metaphor used for diff files here.

2. For a TortoiseSVN style program, there might be a need for icon
overlays/emblems representing various file states (as these combine
with other icons, the Tango consistency is a plus here).

3. an all-in-one Bazaar GUI.  Perhaps your existing icons would be
appropriate here.

James.
