You can always use the text which accompanies icons until you recognize what each icon represents. I change virtually every icon programs come with to things I find esthetically appealing--generally stars, spheres, flowers, or celestial bodies such as the moon or planets. When a friend uses my computer I always need to identify the program they want! My computer desktop and icons make me smile, and that's a good thing.
