Count me in as a Yes. I think it would not only reduce the visual noise, but it would look slick, and make Org even more fun to work with.
The biggest thing for me though, is that they should degrade gracefully.

Subject: [Orgmode] pretty icons in org buffers
I've been re-entering my life data into Orgmode after about a year of just using a palm pilot. So I would like to contribute something to the org community again. A while back I wrote some elisp code for displaying bitmap icons as overlays in org buffers (screenshots at http://dto.github.com/notebook/linkd.html )
As you can see I also drew a bunch of .xpm icons for emacs to display in the buffers. I would be happy to contribute these icons and rework that 30 or 40 lines of overlay code back into a nice little org extension.
After a discussion on the #org-mode IRC channel, it seems like there might be a demand for this. We have at least 2 people who want it. :)
What do people think of icons in org buffers? This could actually reduce visual noise and increase comprehension. Think of priorities being colored circles instead of [#A] [#B] [#C]. Or TODO and DONE and CANCELED being represented by different checkboxy icons.
