Thanks for those links. And, thanks for pointing out what I'd
missed, that I was looking at the 1.5/1.6 guide, and it has since been
superseded. I agree, that the new design is much closer to what I'd
started with, and will be much easier to manage.
Thanks all for advice.

Here is a link to an old tutorial for the 3D style icon:

But like TreKing mentioned, the new style is basically 2D and IMHO
looks much better...

I have a 2D icon that I built for the iPhone version of the app,

have any 3D
graphics experience.
Isn't the current style mostly 2D?
Does anyone have any skill to spare, or advice to share, on making
an app
icon? I have an idea or two, but no 3D content with which to
start. I've
done amateur 2D graphics for years, but 3D I've barely
experimented with.
Any help or advice appreciated.
My advice: go with whatever you have, want, or can make and don't
stress
about the recommended style. The standard icons changed drastically
from 1.5
/ 1.6 to 2.0 / 2.1, so, assuming you're supporting all of those
platforms,
you're icon is not going to match one them anyway. Plus the style
is likely
to change yet again in the future so whatever choice you make now
will be
invalidated then anyway.
