(Get the code!)
I agree, but not wholy.. I like the way icons are unified in a way, with similar shapes, but still distinction between them in a way.. However, I think it also has something to do with the placement of the emblems, the way you perceive the image as a whole..
As i see it, when you look at it, you see a folder first, then some undistinguishible 'emblems' sort of floating above them, and then the text line beneath the folder icon.. Then you have to look a second time to see what each folder is, in both cases, either with the orange ones as with the tangerine-emblems..
Wouldn't it be a far better idea to make folder icons with emblems on them instead of floating emblems (see bug attachment (screen taken on a mac, hey, i'm a graphic designer!? ^_^ ), so that you minimize the space used, thus maximizing what you perceive..
