Do you mean icon and desktop theme for Gnome 3, or a version of Gnome 2, or
something else?  The answer is complicated. 

Gnome 3 has a "classic mode" in 3.0 - 3.4.  Also called in some dists,
"fallback mode".  After Gnome 3.6, fallback mode will go away.  There is a
Debian-based distro called SolusOS (I think) that has a gnome 2-style
desktop that is like Gnome 2 but uses gtk 3.  MATE desktop, with is
available for Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian, and a few RPM-based dists, is a fork
of Gnome 2.  It is rough in spots, but works fairly well for me.  There is
Cinnamon, and you might consider an alternative like it.  

Is any of this a place for you to start, or have I misunderstood?
