You can spice up the look of your GNOME desktop by putting on a killer theme and match it with really cool Linux wallpaper. To greatly enhance its appearance, you will also need some equally good-looking set of icons.I’m going to share to you some of my favorite set of icons. These are specifically made for Ubuntu, as well as any other Linux distro with a GNOME desktop. So here they are:
1. Black White 2 Style
2. Area o.42
3. Kamel
4. Somatic
5. Buuf Deuce
6. Square Dock
8. SnowIsh
9. Amora
10. AllBlack

I can really recommend Tango icons. It's not just as cool as some icons in your article, on the other hand it's usable and possibly one of the most complete set of icons. Its goal is to be multiplatform, ubiquitous and universal - and it's becoming true, since many applications (even for Windows) includes Tango (or Tango-compatible icons) as their native icon theme (such as The GIMP, Pidgin), or at least as an option (OpenOffice.org, Inkscape).
Also, take a look at the Tango generator, since this way you can get most icons possibly for any application you are using - http://mejogid.ohallwebservices.com/site/index.php?q=node/1
Nice list. You might also want to check out Gnome-Colors, they're very complete, pleasant and were the highest rated in gnome-look last time I checked.

yep, all nice, a little funky, i recommend Tango as well--what I use
Elementary is very nice imho.
Wow watch me troll for a tango vs human debate...
Most of these sets are not made specifically for either Linux, nor GNOME. Specifically, Amora and Somatic were made by Dave Lanham for Mac OS X, and are used in their ShapeShifter themes.
Good list though. :)
Very nice post...Thanks for sharing them..
Bookmarked it..
Buuf Deuce has MF Doom. Hip hop head for sure. Peace.
I've been looking for Somatic for a while and forgot what it was called. I love these little illustrative icons. Nice list here!
Here is another great icon set tango + human combination: http://hbons.deviantart.com/art/Discovery-Icon-Theme-77399781
All are so good but AllBlack takes the cake!
nice post, thanks!
i like the snowish...very pure look..
Somatic is cute. :) There's even a GDM theme if you really want the complete look ^^
i really like the "AllBlack", as well as the "Kamel" icons... thanks for posting this..
i dig the icon sets, AllBlack's my choice.
nice post.
Great Icons, i really like the area icons
nice icons specially the SnowIsh
I've been using Black-White 2 Gloss for about six months.. I typically keep a dark theme going, so they go really well. Even when I go back to Human or anything like that, I keep the icons because they match every environment.
