100 Dr. Horrible Icons
10x10variated
First Ten: Use only the original images, changing the color only and nothing else. Color each icon differently, using different color fill layers or adjustment layers. No text, textures, gradients, brushes, or stock images allowed.
I'm happy with all of them. The simplicity is nice.

Second Ten: Every icon must have readable text on it. As well, every icon must have a different font. Do not use fonts that are excessively popular at the time.
I have no idea what the trends are for fonts, so I may have trendy fonts here. I really like how some of these turned out. 14 and 19 especially.

Third Ten: Use a texture on every icon. A different texture must be used on each one.
From this set I love 27, 28, and 29.

Some suck because they're mostly just experiments. I love love love 37 and 40 from this set.

Fifth Ten: Rotate the images. This can be done any way, upside down, to the right, the left, caddy cornered, whatever.
This one was fun to do, although a bit annoying sometimes. I like how they turned out.

I obviously cheated a little on some of these. I pretty much love all of these.

Eighth Ten: Every icon must be less than 100x100 pixels.
This was an interesting challenge. Not sure how much I like these though. 72 and 74 make me laugh out loud though! ;)

Ninth Ten: Every icon must use one popular icon trend that is hot at the time.
Like I said with the trendy fonts, I don't know what the trends are. These styles are what I found more often than others (or things that were trendy from years ago). Trends used: Notebook
texture (81), Action Jackson font (82), big white space/rip (83), hearts (84), big textured borders (85), starry textures/picture within a picture (86), tiny text (87), 1-bit color decrease layer (88),
notebook texture (89), starry textures/tiny text(90).
