Echo from me; these are really quite lovely.

I only have three comments to make that  is:

(1) the 'cool', 'generic', 'oh-no!', 'share', 'urgent' and 'web' all
have white "outlines", that is white circles before giving way to the
final orange border.

I can see why the 'web' one would be designed like this but the others I
listed above in contrast the rest of the icons, it doesn't make sense.

(2) Some of the icons have thinner and sharper lines/corners, while
others don't. For example look at 'photos', 'cvs-modified', and 'mail'.
Now compare them to something like 'presentation'. Maybe we should make
sure the thickness of the lines are more similar and perhaps the same
for a corner's sharpeness/acuteness.

(3) Personally 'photos' and 'pictures' should be swapped, that is,
'photos' icon becomes the icon for 'pictures' and visa versa. Currently
the icon for 'Pictures' reminds me more of a polaroid or some other form
of photograph. :)


If you want I can play around with them to illustrate what I mean.


...But overall, awesome work!
