[Tango-artists] some new gnome toolbar icons

[Hannes]

HI,
thank you guys for some feedback.
But actually it was not a question of universal "a" versus "b" and "i", 
because I already decided to use "b" and "i" for english speakers, for 
Germany I use "F" and "k", France "G" and "i",..etc. As a universal Icon 
I want to keep the "a".
 
I was hoping to get some criticism/comments about the style of the 
icons. I am new to the tango-artists so I was unsure if my icons fit to 
the tango-style.

I appreciate any comments!
