Re: Luis' comment #22; the context is that Sam Hewitt posted to the
Unity Design list the following summary:

  https://docs.google.com/document/d/10WyeoBHMY-
FmiEuGnKf8PSAGZ9GVMUQsh9-l8g8oSSI/view

and along with that Sam has also posted a precise tarball of highly
suitable vector SVG icons (also attached here, so that they don't get
lost).


Sam: I'm wondering if the abstract 'globe' would work as an abstract downwards 
arrow instead (nominally flipped version of the up arrow).  This would tie in 
with the trend to use a downwards arrow for "get" or "download" 
call-to-actions, and would also be a close mirror to the upwards arrow for 
"update".  The subtle difference between 'up' and 'down' would be there for 
those who notice, but I suspect many people would simply see a reassuring 
"shopping bag with big arrow" and this would nicely gloss over the difference 
for them, as the three tasks/actions covered here are interrelated.

mpt: how do these compare with your original specifications/wishes? Do
they carry enough reassurance-branding, or is more required.
