   Okay, I gave into the lightbulb direction and I like it. Thnx to all who helped me get there /cc @patrickHaney

   The lightbulb is a tweaked Pictos icon, I opened up the bulb a bit and gave it some warmth.

   Love it. However, Isn't the heart leaning towards right? (is it intention? It looks quite dynamic...)

   Okay, so a few thoughts my friend. I think the "+" is a bit blurry...and that heart comment fo sho. Also, that comment bubble seems a bit blurry on the bottom too.

   Definitely think these will look sexy and I dig that super simple style. Nice direction.

   You made the right choice. This is clear and easy to identify.

   @Pavel, I was totally kidding.
   @Rogie the blurring is intentional, Its riding a 1.5px line. It's sharp on the outside, that's what I was aiming for, but maybe you're saying it doesn't work well?

   Nice, this is more simple and clear. The brain was too complex :)

    It works for the icons with curvature: the light bulb and the heart, however, icons that have straight edges it tends to look unintentional...like a rapid scale, then export.

    Does that make sense?

    Any thoughts on how to achieve the 1.5px stroke without that effect? 1px is too thin, and 2px is too heavy.

    I like these better than the brain/cloud ones. Nice work!

    @Matthew I use lighter color when I want to make 2px stroke look thinner. But that is only "optical trick" solution.

    @Matthew Really, the one that stands out the most is the blurred lines on the "+" symbol. Also, perhaps do like 1.6-1.75px on the lines...you're very close dude :)

    what the "smart" does?

    @Rogie. Very encouraging. Very smart. Very Rogie. Love you dude.
    @nagash, if "like" is about pixel finesse and beauty, then "smart" is about great UI decisions, hierarchy, good information architecture or UXD. Those aren't always tied together though, thus the separation :)

    Looks really good! Have you thought about adding the squared sign to the bulb?
