[Off-Topic] What icons did old Ubuntu use and where can I get them?

My first experience with Linux was somewhere around Ubuntu 14 or a bit earlier, and I'm trying to figure out what icons they used so I can add a little bit of that flavor to my desktop. They look like the Obsidian icons, but slightly different. Does anybody know?

Also, if anybody knows some GTK themes matching the above that aren't broken by Gnome being Gnome then I would love to hear about those too. Currently I use the KvAmbience style for Kvantum/qt5 and it's quite nice.

Yeah maybe, I just didn't feel like making another account without trying here first :)

I wouldn't necessarily think they are icons by Ubuntu but more likely by Gnome itself at that version.
In any event, you could start by looking here: https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ... -symbolic/

Hmm, the gnome-icon-theme ones look like what's being used in the sidebar, but I can't seem to find those orange folders in the screenshot.

I did some digging on launchpad and I think it might be Ubuntu Mono and/or Humanity.
