It's still not there yet I think, but I leave the rest of the tweaking for you. Having the second gear smaller is a suggestion I wanted to make but I was shy about it: it was late in the discuss and I may sound much like a whiner which contribute only with words and no actual work to the icon set... So +1 from me There is still a minor observation: in the 256x256 version it looks like the small gear is not on the same plane with the other, like it is a bit backward, so maybe raise it a bit (overlap more the two gears).

Also the side face should have different gradient - one the top of the gear it should be similarly bright as the front face I think to better follow the lighting guidelines. The connection of the two grears is a little off, it's noticeable only on the 256x256 and slightly on 48x48 version. The shadow below the second gear should be more transparent, since the gear is higher. You might want to make the top-right gear smaller than the bottom left one, I think it would look better.

Comment welcome. The angle looks a little strange (it looks like it's falling over towards the left), teeth 1, 4, and 5 (counting clockwise from the top) look the wrong size/shape (shape, shape, and size respectively), and the gaps between teeth 2 and 3 and teeth 6 and 7 seem too wide. But I'm picky. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Comment welcome. > > Luya > > Reference: > http://luya.fedorapeople.org/echo/actions/ The icon looks generally good (and crisp), but I have some comments. First the metaphor - can you try to fit there more than one gear? Or maybe you could try similar metaphor like oxygen theme uses (gear with "play" symbol inside). The current single gear variant looks IMHO too much like settings or something... Next is 256x256 version - you might want to redo the 3-D part to make it look more echoey. Just take the front face and redo the rest and it should be fine I think. I mostly don't like the outline around the hole and you should use 1px wide (or if it's just the outline and bellow all other objects, 2px wide because only half of the width is actually visible) semitransparent outline to keep in sync with other new icons. Finally, the shadow - in 22x22 it is too small and in 32x32 it seem a little bit off. You can use similar shadow I used for the go-* icons or the dialog-* icons. It should be possible to make the gears both smaller and still recognisable by reducing number of sprockets.
