And here they are!
Fresh in SVN, you can now use address-book-new looking good in all sizes.

Still not skilled enough to create a KJots icon from scratch...
but it's a start, isn't it?

You probably meant the different pluses for the same icon in different sizes. 
Yeah, that's a fact of life, we do seperate small versions in order to make 
the icons sharper - slightly different line widths might be a side effect of 
this.
