dunno about icons, but what I look for in a terminal is:

fast -- I clicked the terminal button because I wanted to use the
terminal, not cause I want to go get a cup of coffee. This rules out
gnome-terminal and KDE's terminal.

functional -- not much to say here. Gotta be able to configure a
scrollbar, non-blinking cursor, and a lot of scrollback buffer.

purty -- I like pseudo-transparency with color tint and shading. I'd
really like to have AA fonts too, but see fast :-)

aterm is really good on all fronts. rxvt is pretty good. Eterm is
alright, but I hated configuring it.
