Some missing ones for Calypso:

• We need a good icon to describe "All Sites". We've used the globe, and we are trying the grid-icon with four squares as well. Any thoughts?
• Visit Site – we are using globe. I think it works ok. May conflict with above.
• Themes – suggested at the meetup in Paris: the Painter's Palette, which complements the Customize paintbrush.
• Menus – we are using the map navigation thing.

• Sharing – something I don't know how to describe in words.
• Plugins (Jetpack) – the plug
• Upgrades – shopping cart
• External – the rectangle with arrow pointing outwards

Thoughts on Posts:

I personally dislike the thumbtack, and it usually loses the meaning in translations because the "post" thing becomes "entries" or something like that. In current Calypso we are sporting this fellow:

Even if it doesn't cover the plurality of things you can publish (images for one) I still think it's a bit more elegant. (If I have a news magazine my writing is not a transient thumbstack note, etc.) What else can we do for this central piece?

I'm only going to comment on this for now.

Since posts are so versatile and can mean many different things, any icon that has very little inherent meaning I think is best. I think that's why the thumbtack worked. That said, I dislike it because the real-world thing is almost counter productive in how you can think about a "post". For one, it doesn't signify the core thing posts are: chronological.

Using a sheet of paper as the icon for Pages really work though IMO.

So how to signify what a post is? The fact that it's chronological and can be shown anywhere, say on a page or in a slider?

I think the answer is to think about it as an entry: A page in the captain's log book or a section in a report. It's something that creates a whole; it's a volume in a series, a chapter of a book, and a paragraph in a section.

Status (Pin) not needed anymore?

This fell off my radar, but status still used as a post type.
