Thanks everyone for participating, and voting. Unfortunately we only had two votes for Best overall icon so I don't think we can give an award for that :). So here are the eliminations of this round:

#1 - Meer is a bit blurry. The image is grainy and not of high quality.
#3: The cropping could be better, tighter on Haine so you don't have Athrun in it. Even though the original picture is tilted Haine is pretty much in the middle of the icon which is boring, plus you got Athrun thrown in there. Cropped tighter on Haine and to the left would be better, and you'd still have a place for text. I have mixed feelings about the texture. One one hand I like it and on the other I think it might be too distracting. I DO however like the text and love the placement of the tiny text.
icon #3 : Heine is too sharpened and the texture is blurry so it leads to a strange result. I think there is too much tiny texts on the icon, specially with the horizontal one.
#5 - Too simple. It looks like not much effort was put into making this icon.
05: the text is blurry and kind of distracts from the icon, and there is a lot of plain dark space on the icon.
05 - a little too blurry on the character
#5 - The image quality is very blurred and the text settings are too sharp. Also, if the colors were brightend more then the overall icon would've looked more appealing.
#6 - Nice typography, but the way Athrun's face was cropped brings a focus not on the text or body but the bottom of his cropped eyelid. Also, the colors are almost too dark that the text almost blends in too much.
06 - border seemed unnecessary, and image too dark
#6 - I think the colors for this icon are way too dark. a lighter colored texture would have been better in order to distinguish Athrun from the background. also, the way the eyes are half cropped out bothers me. but other than that, i think that the overall idea wasn't bad :)
6. It's kind of boring. The crop could be really could, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Either show more of the eyes or none of the eyes at all. Barely seeing them kind of ruins it. The font color doesn't match very well. It's also pretty hard to read.
icon #6 : the icon is laking in lights. It's a little too dark and too dull. The cropping is interesting but there's something wrong with cropping just on Athrun's eyes with this white border.
7. Boring and plain icon. Everyone does an icons like that. It would be better to mix it up somewhat and show your individual style instead of just doing what everyone else does.
#7: A bit boring. Aside from the doubled picture and bright coloring it doesn't have much that makes it stand out or original. I also think the text size is too big.
#8 - I'm not crazy about the coloring of Shinn for this. It looks too hazy and unclear. The text looks the same way for some reason. Perhaps it's the light texture that's the problem... anyway, other than that, i like the image of Shinn and the overall idea =D
10: i think the icon is a bit boring. The text seems to just kind of be put on there, and the border is bothering me. it should go all of the way around, i think. its also a bit over-burned.
