Going to have to agree with Jake as well. The subtle details really make this thing rock. And being partial to purple, I love the hints of it showing through.
Superb work. Very simple, yet wonderfully executed. I am a fan of both - more detailed, 3d icons and the simple - glyph based, but this one most definitely works better without the third dimension. Love it! :)

Oh and also it's scaled 50% so don't start bitching about half pixels and shit.

great example of how simple yet detailed icons win over "realistic" and complex icons that are popular

Thank you all I am thrilled to the response on this icon, seems everyone hated the 3D as much as I did, so that's reassuring. :)

These people have pointy feet. Probably useful if they get in a knife fight. These pixels are nice.

Very slick Dan. Glad they saw the right way this should have been done. Love the subtle inner shadow on the trio. Nice.

Thank you for not using 3D, I know it's "all the rage" but it's nice to get back to basics! Great work, it has nice depth without looking 3D.
