Start with this image from Hex Caps.
Zoom out to 30%
To get this image, I hit PrtSc (Print Screen) and transferred it in as a new image & cropped it down to the above image.
Copy the image, and paste it as a new layer, and set it to Screen (Layers > Properties > Screen):
Repeat (copy as a new layer, set to Screen):
Create a new raster layer, and fill it with #000000 (black), & set it to Soft Light (Layers > Properties > Soft Light)
Then create another new raster layer, and fill it with #eed7ac (tan) & set it to Multiply (Layers > Properties > Multiply)
Then create yet another new raster layer, and fill it with #0000ff & set the opacity to 16%. Then go to Layers > Properties > & set it to Color (Legacy).
Merge all the layers [Layers > Merge > Merge All (Flatten)].
I then went on to do a curves layer.
RGB:
point1: input:26, output:36
point2: input:80, output:136
point3: input:183, output: 223
RED:
point1: input:33, output:119
point2: input:144, output:161
GREEN:
point1: input:44, output:95
point2: input:148, output:139
BLUE:
point1: input:54, output:51
point2: input:123, output:150
& you should end up with something like this:
Now I cropped it down to 150x150px:
And resized it to 100x100px:
I then fiddled with the Brightness & Contrast (Adjust > Brightness & Contrast > Brightness & Contrast) to get something like this:
(which you don't have to do, but I did to get it closer to the original icon)
Sharpen if you feel the need to.
