Hey, here is another small icon request: As part of the 'Improved Volume Control' feature for F12 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VolumeControlContinued ), we would like to add a speaker setup dialog to gnome-volume-control to help people setting up surround sound. But this currently blocks on not having suitable icons for this.
Here is a page that describes in some detail what is needed: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/ArtRequests/issue22
If someone would feel inspired to tackle this, that would be awesome.

What do you believe: Is This work appropriate to begin designing...

Manuel, do you have experience with designing icons? If not, it may be hard at first (for example I acknowledge I am not good at this), there are a loot of things to take care, from the metaphor to the style (strokes, palette, gradients, lighting, shadows) and technical details (pixel alignment, simplified versions for small size) and so.
I strongly recommend you to study the SVGs from /usr/share/icons/Mist/scalable/ to get a good understanding of this set look and feel.
Have a look at those guidelines to learn a bit: https://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/wiki/Guidelines - sure, they are for Echo, not for Mist, but will probably help with some insight.
Another wonderfur resource is jimmac's blog: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?cat=4
...and don't get scared by what i said above, open Inkscape, give a try and show what you got :p

I would also recommend http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines And here is a good tutorial to get started: http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/how-to-create-a-vector-lig... - Andreas

Having email problems, so apologies if this is a duplicate:
I can take this on if no one else has started. I'm part way through with the speaker and subwoofer icons (attached). The SpeakerIcon_Test file is just to show what the speakers would look like at different angles. Obviously, these are super flat and un-styled at the moment, but if the concept seems reasonable I can keep working and polish them off.
Hope this helps,
eve

As far as I know, nobody else is working on this.

While I am not the requester, I like what you did so far, good job Eve!
