Bug Description
Binary package hint: humanity-icon-theme
Currently in Lucid the icons for Word Powerpoint Excel and Access have their W, P, X and A styled EXACTLY like that of OS X. It's understandable that there should be some similarity for converts. However, the similarity is only there for Mac converts. The similarity for Word for example should be "Blue W" as that is present in the versions of Word for Windows as well as Mac.
The new Ubuntu font should be used for the icons. It helps with Ubuntu's identity and will be a step away from the OS X cloning it is being accused of as of late.
There is a discussion in the mailing list http://
I've also made icons based on the not yet finished new Ubuntu font.

Ditto. I know this is the testing phase, but didn't the UI Freeze already happen? And wasn't this change brought about right when the UI Freeze happened? How unprofessional. Having the icons stylized uniquely using the new Ubuntu font would make perfect sense.
