Launchpad icon fail

   I think the designer at Apple responsible for this icon might have made a mistake - the radial gradient should not have been applied to the rocket, only the metal disc. More here: http://is.gd/igxscA

   Apple's on the left, my solution on the right.

   I agree as well. Feel like providing a download so I can fix it on my machine? ;)

   Hmm. I don't think it is a mistake. They tried to imitate some kind of anisotropic material, so it's more or less accurate.
   But nevertheless I like your solution more, too. Would love to replace it :)

   I don't think it's a mistake either. It's just like the metal was dug so I think the radial should be here, but maybe less opaque though.

   I think it all depends on if the finish is brushed or glossy. I do think the flat no-radial looks better. ^_^
