I believe Tango has been part of the Better Desktop testing, if I am 
mistaken then at the very least their comprehensive style guide has 
mentions of basic considerations to make for usable icon design so at 
least their style shows some consideration being given to the objective 
even if indirectly. I apologize for my use of the word "great", it has 
undergone, at least, indirect usability testing and it's designers and 
guideline authors, at least a few of them, are aware of usability 
concerns (Ryan Collier and Anna Dirks are both usability people by trait).
