Have you a link for me? I have found the artwork links on the wiki to be 
pretty confusing. Then again, I've been distracted.

In terms of these "bands" of users they are like a locale within a major 
Locale.

I fully agree that icons -- all artwork really -- should be locale-based.

What would you say to the idea of a website that allows icons to be rated per 
locale, per app/purpose? Those with the highest votes over time should be 
used in preference to any one designer's "big idea".
