Emblems just add clutter

Bug Description

Since Edgy (I think) the Nautilus emblems were changed into all being orange circles with different white colored motives inside. Before that, the emblems had different colors and shapes. To me the point of an emblem was that it enabled me to quickly differentiate folders. Since all the emblems are now orange circles I can no longer quickly differentiate folders -- I have to look for more than a fraction of a second to tell the emblems apart.
This has made me stop using emblems as they now just add clutter. For me, emblems was a great feature of Nautilus, and I think it's a shame that I can no longer use it :-(

P.S. The easy solution to the problem is to use the old emblems (upstream gnome, I guess)
