Sure
We must think in the maximum of integration between the tools and the plenty of apps/setups that any user can do...
And how about colors? All the color has a meaning, which directions do we take on this?
Misalf:
Icons colors maybe just need to be different so one can distinguish them faster.
I think I've heard that in general the color green is often associateed with sickness while it's also used to indicate a good status. Hmm, maybe it just shoudn't be too colorful.
The firefox icon is orange and blue; looking nice (imo) and jumps into the eye without looking like a warning symbol.
GIMP icon is neutral brownish-gray but the shape might be more important for recognizing it in the taskbar.
I have confused Run, Apps & SCM Apps a few times because the look so alike (when I'm tired).
For GUIs I like 212/208/200 (I even know these values off-hand). Maybe I just got used to it due to using Windows for so long; Just gray makes me want to look somewhere else. GUIs ran by root still using gray on my system so I don't feel to comfortable using that (which is a good thing).

Hi!
Attached is one idea of logo and icons. The logo, being flat, could get any other color to differ from any background. The icons are just ideas to follow the flat style and simplicity.
I'm not on my Core machine to take the screenshot of the gtk theme yet, will do until the end of the day.
Misalf:
That future-look logo is actually pretty nice.
If inverted, (orange on black) it might look nice as a boot splash logo or something.
Now I think I know what you mean regarding 3D icons (opposite of flat).
That might not quite harmonize alongside other apps installed, though on the other hand it might be very good to differentiate System Tools and User Installed Tools.

Hi!
How about FlatStudioLight ( http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=154296 ) as the theme of choice?
Together with the AwOken icons... maybe we could start from them!
