Echo icons are generally darker, it would stand out (which is not good). The lightning is too subtle, borders too light, the object would be really hard to recognise on first look even in the 48x48 size. The shadow is too big and does look strange (the positioning is completely different from all other Echo icons). > What i noticed so far is that it might look better if i double or even > tripple the border size so that it looks even better on smaller > images. > I would, a lot... First, create the big icon. You must align it to the pixel grid, so that it does not look blurry. Then work on smaller sizes and use different sources for 32x32, 22x22 and 16x16 - the alignment to the pixel grid is different, the borders need to be wider for smaller sizes, the icon usually needs to be simplified for smaller sizes, the 16x16 icon must use flat perspective. > The icons are attached in this mail. I appreciate your efforts a lot, but I must note the issues as well, sorry for me being so critic... :) Martin
