Feedback welcome. > As a concept I think it could work, the exact implementation however lacks something. I am not sure which might it be, but perhaps the gradients are too much of a combination of metallic and grey and it clashes when used together. Could you try to achieve more realistic look and having the outlines more subtle, only to emphasise the shape, but not to clash visually with the fills? Feel free to adjust the gradients as you see fit - the versions from me are supposed to be base set and it's desirable to adjust them for the exact icons they are used in. I also think the thrash material could have some depth in the 256x256 version. The shadow should be IMHO nearly realistic in 256x256 version. You could also try to slightly distort the ellipse to achieve perspective imitation. Don't know with what size you started, but I tend to start with the 256x256 one and gradually decrease amount of detail when doing the smaller ones. It helps me better define the exact implementation of the chosen metaphor (which, on the other hand, has to be chosen to look good down to 16x16 size...). > Luya > Martin
