Really nice improvements! The tab bar is much better in this version. Two thoughts: (1) the beer button is clearly a button in the affordance sense, but it doesn't quite entice me to press it. I think it has something to do with the texture and relatively flat dimensionality (2) if you interpret the friends glyph to be you and a friend then the Chandler glyph makes sense, but if someone interprets the friends glyph to be two of your friends it might be weird to see the same friend used to represent yourself.
Looks great, Chandler! Quick thought: Maybe increase the size of the hands (and bottle/pint) on the "Friends" icon? The seem a bit small to my eye. Otherwise, looking fantastic.
I agree with everyone Chandler, definite positive improvements. Looking at it on my iPhone, the texture in the top menu bar gets pretty lost if I didn't know to look for it. Maybe increase it's opacity, or the opacity of the gradient on the bar to pull more depth in?
Also, only on the iPhone, something about the beer button and it's proximity to the edge of the screen feels a little uncomfortable. I don't know that this is the solution, but i tried getting rid of the bottom radius to let the button be more stable/ not in conflict with the phone. http://cl.ly/1X1k0v2D2o0H3G1L3k0r
Duuude! I like the friends icon a lot more now. A lot more character and less "standard" silhouette cutout. Keep pushing! This is looking better and better!

Color changes, some texture refinements, new icons, etc. The new icons are in the right direction but I'm no Rogie, so...
This also gives a view of the friends page. See the two attachements & try to view them on your iPhone.
And yes, I forgot to update the "selected" state in the tab bar for the friends page. Please give me some specifics of what I can improve here.

These icons are so much better! They give it a character where it otherwise was hurting.
The brownish color is way better than the purple. More tavern like.

Loving the progress!
What do the friends look like with eyes? More or less creepy than they do now?

Much better, but I think the people need eyes.

Thanks guys, good ideas. @Ethan, I tried that as well but for some reason I just don't love it. I'm still not sold either way, so we shall see.
