The colouring on the second one looks like a gradient mapping (Image -> adjustments -> gradient map) using tan and a vivid red, or maybe a fill layer of tan set to colour and then a red to white gradient map?

The geometric effect looks like you could just draw the lines with the pen tool, and then adjust each segment seperately.

Hope that helps!

For the first two icons, use Selective Coloring to up the reds and yellows, then make a new layer, fill it with a shade of red and set it to Lighten, with an opacity somewhere between 5-20%.

The third icon uses this brush. I want to say I got it from fightstarr, but I'm not certain.
