Not sure, but I have done some search with Google and there are only 
one programming framework called IconKit, the other stuff which more or 
less includes the words "Icon" and "Kit" are not related to 
development, precisely talking are not even called exactly IconKit.
The previously quoted IconKit framework is OpenStep related (Deek told 
me that first) and is no more in use, then I think it is ok to use 
IconKit denomination for our project.

Anyway if people really think we should rename this framework, may be 
something like CoreIconKit or IconicKit could be ok.
