Comment 5 for bug 61176

I'm a big fan of the tango project, I really like the guidelines and the resulting icons. Tango icon theme is really nice, so was Tangerine. And the new Gnome icon theme is even better. So I'm all for getting more of the deskop tangofied.

BUT: I never understood why tango was used as a fallback for human, the two styles doen't fit each other. Ubuntu having it's own visual identity, blah blah... yeah I can understand that but the Human theme is miles behind both tango-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme... and it's not following the tango guidlines. Do you really plan to do Human icons for all those apps which have tango themes right now like (as travis mentioned) Gimp or OOo?

IMHO Ubuntu would do best with the following: reuse Human again for edgy but drop it after that release in favour of a small add-on icon theme which inherits most icosn from the default gnome theme. This way ubuntu could get its identity (color of folders etc) but still fit with the majority of upstream artwork.
