I kept tinkering with the circular icon style and this is where I've arrived at for now.
– Adopted the Photoshop CS6 colors
– Reduced depth of the characters
– Different reflection in characters
– Greater refraction of the backside of the circle
– Tiny Adobe logo at the bottom in the larger sizes
– More subtle shadow and glow at the bottom
I've attached the icon (Mac folder + .ico) – try it out and get a feel for it and let me know what you think!
Once the color scheme for the rest of the CS6 apps becomes public I'm thinking this could become a complete set.
I hate the direction Adobe went with the CS icons since CS3, but i guess they just want them to feel 'professional'. What you've done is very nice, but i would still prefer an icon style like CS 1 and 2.

Nice! I'd like to see the Adobe logo slightly larger — it's a nice touch.

@Jack Bingham I made the Adobe logo for the 128 & 256 variants – they are included in the download from www.maxthemes.com
Thanks for your input on the matter!
