quick feedback:
executable: it's not really a "document you can open", so it's probably the
one icon where it makes more sense to have a distinct shape like the gear
ms office:
indeed, trademarked logos should be avoided as much as possible, i would
object putting their official logos in our repo for clear legal reasons.
I'm fine with the colors, tough i guess i'll have to see it in real life to
see if it doesn't look too much "noisy" when a large number of files is
visualized. similar concern for having a lot of icons with different shapes
(like images, archives and videos) is true that helps to make a type more
recognizable, but could also make a view look more messy...
