See If you know the ropes of creating good graphics, see the Nuvola2 project, which appears to be an effort in the mediawiki community to bring a whole set of scalable graphics to the project.

If you just want to have a bunch of good graphics available for use in your wiki, then there are image administration tools that you can use to batch import collections of graphics. Mediawiki can now handle Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) so with a little configuration, you can import a group of SVGs and use that as a basis for your theme. In this wiki, I imported the Oxygen graphics (see below). Importing is handled by a 'maintenance' script. See details about how image assets are managed at [[mw:Manual:Image_Administration]] As for complete icon sets, there are a few well-known sets in the Linux Free Software community.
; Crystal : The KDE crystal set is nice, and you can find out more at [http://everaldo.com/crystal/ Everaldo's website].
; Oxygen : The standard icon theme for KDE4 You can also get scalable vector graphics from the oxygen set. If you <source lang="bash">sudo apt-get install kde-icons-oxygen </source>, you should find them on your system in /usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/ Note that you need an application (like Konqueror, Dolphin, Gwenview or Inkscape - but not Gqview) that can display SVG to view the svgz files. http://www.oxygen-icons.org/
