The only general comment about the icons would be to

pure black <http://ianstormtaylor.com/design-tip-never-use-black/> to
make the icons integrate more naturally into the page.
Ok, good point. We have been taking Noun Project icons as they come, and
the icons at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Icon_Set#E…
seem to be in full black as well.
Then again
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Icon_Set#D…
gives "Maximum flexibility within color schemes". For
mediawiki.org we
can go with #111 or something else if you prefer.
Regarding the design icon I would prefer something
more simplistic.
Since icons seem to be based on the noun project, I took the architect
one <http://thenounproject.com/noun/architect/#icon-No1484> and made
this quick adaptation
<https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30377416/design/mw_design_icon_idea.svg> to
make it a bit more MediaWiki specific (and replace #000 with #111). I
made a screenshot of the result in the page
<https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30377416/design/mw_design_icon_in_context.png> to
see the icon in context.
Looks good. Can you upload the icon to Commons, please?
Thank you!

Hi, we started working on more consistent icons for
https://www.mediawiki.org/__wiki/How_to_contribute
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute> including
https://www.mediawiki.org/__wiki/How_to_contribute/__Presentation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute/Presentation>
and we have continued trying to organize things under
https://www.mediawiki.org/__wiki/Project:Visual_identity
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Visual_identity>
Your feedback and help is welcome, at least to agree on the icon for
'design':
