Wow, now that's what I call 'value added' - the extra detail really
makes the icons outstanding! I was amazed when I saw them - excellent,
and thank you!!!

Some feedback from me:
I agree with Mike that the Base icon looks a little out of place
because it appears very shiny and IMHO our icons should not really go
for the shiny look but rather for depth (which you did extremely well
with the Impress icon).
Also, now that the graphics inside the document have so much depth and
'special effects', the outlines look very flat by comparison. This is
where maybe a small inner shadow might help to add some depth.

I'll post this request on the website list.

Thank you, Paulo and well done - keep it up :)
