Apart from not knowing what you mean by legitimacy, that makes things
easier. Just type:
$ xzgv /usr/share/icons/mate/48x48/apps
(install xzgv if you don't already have it) and keep on
pressing the following keys in any order: <space>, b, and z, and
choosing whichever is "_suitable_" and "appropriate" for whatever.
