If I'm honest, I'll mostly stick with what I said earlier.
The
borderless versions don't fit with the rest of the Echo
set,
specifically dialog-* and media-*, because I feel it gives
somewhere
to 'hit' the icon.

The colours are soft, though; I like the orange for
hibernate as this
is close to the red for shutdown and different enough to the
blue for
standby.

One can perhaps do some 3d like in media-* without
sacrificing the
symbol distinctive form. (I'd make the same reproach for
dialog-close &
dialog-ok, though they've managed to stay somehow
distinctive with flat
& different colours)

BTW it may be useful to add little twists to the different
shutdown/standby/hybernate icon forms to help colour-blind
people.
