Comment:

 A few issues:

  1. The `menu_icon` argument can be not only a dashicon name, but also a
 URL, a `data` URI, or `none`.
  2. `$text = number_format_i18n( $num_posts->publish ) . ' ' . $label;`
 is, unfortunately, not localisable. We're really missing a post type label
 here (hence the existing `$text = _n( '%s Post', '%s Posts',
 $num_posts->publish );`).
  3. The post types should appear in the same order they appear in the main
 admin menu (according to the `menu_position` argument).

 Can you upload a patch which doesn't include the unrelated changes to the
 storage quota section?
