@Varheit:

I agree with you I think there are another thinks more importants that the icons and the actual set of icons (the default icons) are very comphrensible.

Sorry my english.

This is the wrong direction.
Icons do not have to be modern. If an icon is unclear, it should be refined or redone. By reducing it. Not by making it more colorful or just different. Good icons work in monochrome. Think about traffic signs. The only way, the current icon set should be improved is by making it timeless instead of modern. No chewing gum. In a few years, this proposal will look just silly.

I think it'd be nice as an option, but if there all sorts of iconic layout options, than it can start to confuse people, especially those just starting out on blender. Personally I like the existing layout, "90s" or not. It has a "down to business" look to it that I like. It gives blender a professional look to it, much like Lightwave has, as oppose to the "videogame" look that apps like Max and Maya have (especially Maya, REALLY annoyingly sophomoric).

I like the look of the new icons, very smooth, a good change to make the UI more friendly, inviting to newcomers and cute!

My suggestions is this; since you're already moving in that direction wouldn't it be a lot prettier if the "Window type" (3D view, IPO, Outliner etc) icons were actually BIGGER, say at least twice the current size. Kind of like opening a Windows start menu. It makes a UI much friendlier belive me. Think how MacOS X does it!

Think about it…

In general I like them and would be happy to see them replace the existing set.
Im sure any that arnt up to scratch will be fixed..

Then again Im not esp unhappy with the existing set. - These just seem nicer.

The icons change is a pretty cool thing. I'm liking it already. :)

As for a GUI change I wouldn't mind it so much if they changed it to look somthing like that screenie. That's an awsome GUI.

@Alexander: would you care to explain that? You can't really say something like that without clarifying what you mean :)
