Hey guys...

Working on an Icon Set that I want to GPL, and I wanted to get some feedback:

I'm calling it mystic orb. What do you think of it? Obviously, this is a limited set of icons... what else should I include? Please be critical.

I like it!

I really like it! Not a huge fan of the way the shadows have been placed. I would fade them out a little more.

I have noticed a huge lack of icons for churches recently. We are working on developing some sets for the community. I would add some icons that churches could really use as well. For example, something that screams sermon series, I am New, Directions, Service Times, etc. Those types of things we use a lot on our sites and would love icons that show it.

Once you have your set, I would love to promote them on our blog. Let me know!

Shadow...

Can you clarify what you mean with the shadow? is it too dark, or not blurred enough, or both?

First time doing this, so I'm just kind of copying at this point. Perfectly legitimate way to learn, IMO :)

Tony,

Cool looking icon set.

For me, the darker shadows almost "take away" a little bit of the focus from the icons. I don't have a bright light and a ball handy to comment about if the shadow should be as wide as the icon itself. If the icons were square, I could see the shadow extending to the edges with the same "saturation" (Or whatever that term is) as the middle since it's all the same distance to the ground/base/whatever. But since it's a round object, I think the shadow would be much lighter on the "edges" and get darker towards the center of the object. But not too dark.

But apart from the shadow question, the icons look great!

Thanks for the input

The ball is supposed to be lit from within... so maybe I could do away with the shadow entirely?

Blessings,
Tony
