Well, such a guideline for a consistent set is something very complex, 
it should define at least: color palette, perspective, stroke, light 
source, shadow type (have a look at the guidelines for something like 
the Tango icons). In practice, the images should be created from the 
start according to the guideline, not just apply the tags after the fact.
