Comment:

 I feel like these icons don't have the right tone. Their roundness makes
 them seem a little juvenile to me. The light drop shadow applied on them
 compounds this feeling. When I think WordPress, I think easy, modern, and
 elegant. I think WordPress.com does a really good job of using icons that
 feel both fun and professional. (example: http://cl.ly/image/0p3E2N3O1x2U)
 Not to say we need to be like WP.com, but I think they've captured the
 tone.

 I've pulled out some examples of dashboards with icons from dribble that I
 think work well:
