@Marshall - Typically, the magnifying is always small in a search field. It should tell the users that's a search bar, but it should also be subtle as it's not a physically usable element. You'll see the same thing in your browser, be it a globe, a star, a magnifying glass, or anything.
I agree with Marshall that the magnifying glass looks disproportionally minimalist compared to the other 2 bold, chunky icons (which I find to be too close from each other, too).
@Sam I was trying to say that that magnifying glass was probably not related to the other two icons. It's especially not supposed to mimic them in size and weight. It just wouldn't make sense.
Reading back now I do sound like a chump in my last comment, wasn't on purpose mate.

Wondering if it’s a part of a website’s interface or a custom window in mac os x. :D

Nice, chunky icons. Comparatively, though, the magnifying glass looks a little puny, no?
Beautiful, though :D

But all in all this looks really good.

Looks great, Will. Is this for a Pixel Union tumblr theme?

I think the search icon should be nudged one pixel upwards in order to match with the text label http://cl.ly/201m2R2T0q3u1703091g

Pixely awesome.
IMO the magnifying glass is spot on. It carries the same visual weight as the label. Wouldn't want to introduce more hierarchy there.

This is good, but I'd much prefer a topless bar.
