Your icons are striking in their simplicity, I love it! The text for 14 is fabulous--it's a really really classic look and that cap choice is fabulous. 15 is hands down my favorite from your batch--the composition, the cap choices, the text composition and the text itself--really really lovely. 52 is also a favorite--I LOVE the contrast between the blue and red (and hair porn!); the silhouette work on 54 is lovely and 55 is like these amazing book covers, yet another super classic icon that I really love. And 73...wait, I don't know if 15 is my favorite or this one. I don't know, it's just PERFECT :D (I also really like purple but can't pull it off most of the time.)

Thanks so much for battling with me! I really enjoyed it ♥

Aw, thanks. I think text and blending are my biggest weaknesses so I tried to push myself to use them more here. Man, if you only knew how many different things I tried and then ended up scrapping for 15. It was one of the last icons I made and it really gave me hell. :D

I love battles because they push me to be more creative, too! And 15, your efforts are super worth it, it really is very lovely ♥

Wow, thanks. Text is something I usually struggle with so that's a huge compliment.

#51 is really great! I love how you changed the colors of the original cap and made it so clear and sharp. The font and text is also great :) #11 is lovely in it's simplicity.

the way your "complicated" icons look is asdfghjkl, flawless!
#32, #54, #55 and #75 (♥) are my favourite icons, but
they're all amazing, really!

Lovely icons! I really like your work with text and my favourite of your icons are: 15,34, 55, 73 and 75!

I adore the composition of 15. Those levels + text in between = perfection. 33 is WOW, the text and the simplicity of the composition work so well together, and 54 and 55 are real stunners, both so creative and with really impressive use of text.

Your compositions are simple yet lovely, and you have a great eye for text! =D My favorites are 11, 51, 54, 74 & 100.
