It's awesome! The only thing I would have to say about it is that the frame doesn't look much like metal to me. I don't have a really good suggestion to change it though because the simplicity is nice. Maybe just maybe have a hint of darker and lighter areas? (I know the original is like this, I'm just looking at yours objectively)
@Benjamin De Cock I was feeling lazy and I just hand drew the gears rather than tracing 3d. That's why the big gear doesn't match the little gears :P how would you improve the shape of the pins? Make them less soft?
It’s a rule of thumb that every time you have circularly brushed aluminum, the brushing is always symmetrical across the rotational axis. Lots of people overlook this when trying to construct an interesting composition.
You work is amazing otherwise! good work!

I've been meaning to make a System Preferences replacement for quite a while. I was inspired by the awesome new iOS6 preferences icon.
Here's a download for those who want it :)
Let me know any tips or suggestions!
