VPN indicator icon missing

When I connect my VPN, the network indicator icon changes to what seems to be a placeholder for missing icons.
The attached =vpn_off.png= shows the icon before connecting the VPN, and =vpn_on.png= shows it afterwards.
Does anyone know where that icon should come from? Is there maybe a package I'm missing?
This is on Trisquel 10.0.1 with Mate.

Do you have the theme set to "Trisquel"?

I have the theme set to Trisquel, I just checked, I see an icon with the wifi waves and a small lock when I connect to my own VPN with openvpn.

Thank you both for the replies and the hints!
I checked and I did have the theme set to Trisquel. After looking at the icon files and seeing they were organized by size (even though they are scalable), it occurred to me it might be because of the panel size. I had it set to 32.
Indeed, if I set the panel size to 30 or less then I can see the proper network status icon.
Now I'm still curious why the other icons don't have the same problem. I see the themes inherit each other (it's in the index.theme file) so maybe some of the parents have the icons configured differently. For example "trisquel" inherits "trisquel-brave" which in turn inherits "gnome-colors-common", which has "scalable/status/nm-signal-50.svg" but not "scalable/status/nm-signal-50-secure.svg". However, putting a file there didn't seem to help (maybe they're cached).
