First icon I've created for this set in a while :) I like how it came out, I like the contrast between the quite detailed microphone and the simplistic page.
I'm at 32 icons now :) Feedback is welcome, I'm still unsure about the shadows.
Thanks to Chris Masterson, Mr. Ribbers and Gabriella for their help.
Edit: Added a couple of attachments with improvements :)
Nice! Great colors. :)
One thing I'm not sure about is the handle of the microphone, the edges are really jaggy. You might have too many layers on top of each other there, try to soften that up a bit. :) Other than that, really cool icon!
@Janik Baumgartner yes, you're right, I haven't leant in to look at my screen today. I think I'll just add a vector mask which takes away a line of half pixels, it'll make it smooth I thinks :3 Thank you!
To be honest I just wanted to give it a reflection from the paper... then I realised that it would be on the backside of the mic and we wouldn't be able to see it. LOL :C I should get rid of it but I love purple :X
@Simon Gustavsson :) I drew straight lines like a grid. Tilted, copied and pasted/flipped them so it looks like a mesh. Then I literally warped them around the shape of a ball.
Hi Prekash, the icon is good but there are details you can make better. The top of the microphone looks a litlle bit flat, if you add more gradients on the circle it will look more realistic. And you can work more on the body of the microphone (the edges) - if you give them 1px blur they'll look better, I think :)

Nice one! Some feedback: The edges around the mic seem a bit jagged, maybe smooth that out a bit?

Fantastic! I agree with @Janik Baumgartner though. The handle is a little jaggy. :)

Awesome! The mic is perfect. Maybe little more details on the page beside the sound waves, like crossed lines.

@Guillaume Gaubert I was going to do that, but I sort of liked the simplicity of just having the waveform. I'll do it and show you, though :)

This is my favourite so far. I'd remove the purple shine from the far right side of the mic though. Where's that light coming from? :P

I made this today, another one for the set. Feedback is appreciated :) I want to improve on this. Thanks guys and girls!
(Tell me if the edges are jagged, I seriously can't see them on my iMac's display :/)
(This replaces that old god awful one I made. WTF was I thinking?)
