Hey guys,
 Just my 2 cents on this topic,
Faenza icons are my least favorite of icons,, I am not sure that it's just
the squareness of them.
Some of them are quite nice and clever in design, but for the most part not.
If going square, i would have used android icons approach,, rounded if
square but extremely easy to read at first glance.
  Here is an example ;

just my opinion
