In general I would agree But I would think it would be better to say what the meaning of the pear-shaped bullet was. If there were two bullet types and one meant "active" and one meant "archived" then it would be better to just say the two words instead of describing the bullet shapes. The exception might be if the two meanings took a long time to say and could not in any way be abbreviated.. then the bullet appearance might act as a short abbreviation.... But I would think you could always think of a short form or name for the two meanings.
