Really?  I find echo a bit more cartoonish than Human.  Take the disk
drive icons, or CD or printer icons for example.  That's not to say that
Human can't be improved by getting more realistic.  I think it can, but
the examples below are tough to beat.


 That said, I still like echo quite a bit and I think it's a good
reference to refer to at times.  It may be especially useful as a guide
to see which icons they consider most important for the Gnome desktop
experience.
