I still haven't decided whether or not I'm entirely happy with my previous "Shelves" icon, so I decided to go with an entirely different approach. I've always been a fan of the raised icon look, so I wanted to give it a shot. I plan on having a raised section in the middle with a type of universal icon for the app, but I wanted to get some opinions before I continued.
Is this a better start or should I stick with the original?
Thanks for the input, David! You're absolutely right. If this app wasn't named "Shelves" then I suppose this would work better. I also messed around with it a bit more and decided to not use this type of icon. It really helped putting it on my actual iPhone home screen... It didn't look like it fit in with anything else. I'm going to stick with the original design and polish it up a bit before the app is released.

I kinda like the original because there is nothing in this one that says shelf to me, it says box :) Visually they are both great!
