Those aren't the original echo icons of that size, I had done those 
originally and they were put into a straight-on perspective (a must at 
that size) and modified to align to the pixel grid. So I guess the icons 
I did must have been replaced.

These icons look like sized-down versions of the much larger ones. And 
they're not easy to look at; look at the games one, there is some weird 
aliasing going on there. They look muddy, not crisp (except for the 
add/remove software one but that one is not an echo icon)
