The level of detail for the photo looks good at this size, but won't it look different smaller (maybe a bloody horror movie icon ;) )? I like it though, nice one...
Haha, yeah I started with just the letter on a plain background, but just didn't work for me, so played about a bit until I got to this. It looks pretty good on my iPhone 4.
Looks great, what would it look like with a silver bezel? It might add a little contrast to match the lettering. Really like the red bezel, great job sir!
The 'F' reminds me too much of Facebook. I probably wouldn't incorporate the photo as the icon that most people are going to see is on the actual iPhone. So, you won't really see this detail.
I'd got for a solid red icon without the 3-Dimensional look and have a subtle gradient. (I like this red http://c.ethk.in/Chio that you can see on top of the seats in the background).
I don't know, perhaps going for a film icon or video camera for something more topical and make it stand out more.
Oops, I thought this was a facebook icon before... ahh... touch situation, especially if you had the logo for a while (though FB existed before then too).
Decided after a few comments from the guys on here that my icon was too similar to a Facebook icon, so decided to use it for exactly that and also work a Twitter and RSS one.
After realising that the font I used on the last icon was very similar to the Facebook font, I decided to go for a different take on the icon. Film related but something a little different from the rest of the website.
Thoughts?
This is my first reall attempt as a proper iPhone icon as most clients just want their logo put in it.

Thought I would put a little effort into the iPhone icon for my film blog that I launched last week http://itsfilmtastic.co.uk
Just save the homepage to your home screen on your iPhone for it to show up.

Thanks Mark, I like the idea, but I'm not sure the silver would really fit in well with the overall feel of the site.

Looking at it now, your both right, I think I will convert this to use as a Facebook icon and create Twitter and RSS one's too.
Back to the drawing board for the iPhone one.
