As far as style. I'd say everything except for the "link2" icon fits the style of Tango, I especially like the "link1" icon.

But actually it was not a question of universal "a" versus "b" and "i", because I already decided to use "b" and "i" for english speakers, for Germany I use "F" and "k", France "G" and "i",..etc. As a universal Icon I want to keep the "a". I was hoping to get some criticism/comments about the style of the icons. I am new to the tango-artists so I was unsure if my icons fit to the tango-style. I appreciate any comments!
