The various colors are cool, but I have to say that I prefer the more minimal glow you have on your original one vs. these. You could probably keep the changed gradient style you have here, but there's just something about the first one that is so much more tactile, in my opinion.
@Kevin Hamil the same goes here (as I commented on the original shot) – the original icon was designed in something like 600x600, so I upscaled it to fit into the app icon template for tests, and I forgot to upscale effects as well.
During the fitting of the quick sketch icon, I resized it (upscaled) almost twice, but forgot to enhance the effects size as well. Due to this mistake, it didn't really look as hot. So I fixed it.
Also, all icons now sport this new glow, which I think fits a little better (although the original was better at hinting it's basically downscalled iphone).

Hah, testing out colors now. I fixed the round corners radius, and swapped the background light gradient... the blue one seems to be too obvious.
I also can't pick which color I like the most, so… can we vote?

I really like all the colors and again, I think the shine on the 3rd icon really works the best.

Very nice work though.
