Thank you for actually listing numbers- I feel that when you do that it means you gave enough of an effort to examine which ones caught your eye, and as any icon maker knows, that allows you to play better to your crowd next time around. Kudos, love! ;P
PS: Ooh- When I saw your icon on various posts yesterday I got to thinking about how the hell you got such a deep looking shadow (if it wasn't original to the pic), and that I'd love to do that in so many icons I'm yet to make XP
Haha! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, I'm not so sure), the shadow's in the original picture, so it's not my amazing icon-making skills, haha. Though, for this icon, I duplicated the background layer and changed the Blending Mode to Soft Light on the copy to give it a little more shadow (I use Photoshop CS, btw, but there should be something similar in other versions of PS or PSP). Hope that helps!
Ahahaha! Don't you love it when the icon just gives it to you?! Awesome. Soft Light is always your friend. Still- It's nicely oriented + it works better with the fullness of the rounded text, just in case you were wondering ;) I use CS2 as well, so that's still helpful XD
