Thanks for your reply Roy, but it is not exactly what I was looking for. 
 I'm not looking to create icons, and the current icons that I'm using 
seem to be *.png files.  I've done some searching and apparently mng and 
apng are the formats that seem to support animation though they haven't 
been fully adopted.

This leaves me confused about the red hat icon I saw... what type of 
file was it? where was/is it?  Are there other icons like these available?
