I think many icons - like the stock icons (back, forward, home), but also logout - can be changed by using another gtk-theme. I am no Gnome expert, but I installed some other themes (apt-get install gnome-theme-extras) and played with them. They include files like gtkrc and iconrc. Here you find entries like 

   stock ["panel-searchtool"] =    {{"find.svg"}}
   stock ["panel-screenshot"] =    {{"applets-screenshooter.svg"}}
   stock ["panel-lockscreen"] =    {{"panel-lockscreen.svg"}}
   stock ["panel-logout"] =        {{"stock_quit.svg"}}
   stock ["panel-gnome-logo"] =    {{"gnome-logo.svg"}}

Obviously you can change non-application icons by using these entries. I just adapt the gtkrc so that I can use the Industrial widgets with Nuvola icons. Maybe you should just take a look at some other themes and their configuration files. Or you should search for some Gnome tutorials to find a better approach. If you find an easier way to change these icons please let me know ;-)

Cheers, Jochen
