A few comments about them:

Icons should not contain letters since their meaning is not obvious to everyone
and not everyone uses the same letters. (Think of non-latin languages.)

Thus the header and c-source icons don’t look right to me.

And the Makefile icon looks cluttered to me since there’s to much going on at
it. This will become obvious if you try to create the lower resolution versions.
The idea of the conversion from source text to a binary file is not quite bad,
but you should go with a much simpler approach.

I for myself prefer the Makefile icon[0] from the Unabashed Tango Theme[1]. It
tells me directly and without thinking about that it has something to do with
building something. And that’s what it does.

Just my $0.02.


Regards, Mathias
