*Made using Photoshop CS and PSP8*



PLEASE DON'T COPY THIS ICON, USE THE STEPS TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS YOUR OWN; THAT'S MAKES IT MORE FUN, ANYWAY :)

-This part was done in Photoshop CS.-

- I cropped this image from Keira Fans.Net down to a 100x100 base:



- New Levels layer:

Channel RGB only.
Input Levels: 30 | 1.00 | 245
Output Levels: default



This gives the image a bit more depth.

- New Selective Color layer:

Reds: -20| 0 | +30 | +10
Blues: +100 | -10 | -100 | +10
Magentas: -100 | +100 | 0 | 0
Neutrals: +40 | +15 | +15 | -5



- New Hue/Saturation layer:

Master: 0 | +10 | 0
Reds: 0 | +10 | 0
Yellows: 0 | +10 | 0
Cyans: 0 | +50 | 0
Blues: 0 | +50 | 0
Magentas: 0 | +10 | 0



- Merge all layers. Now duplicate the only layer left, set it to Soft Light 30%:



This adds yet more depth; yay!

-This part was done in PSP8.-

- Create a new, blank layer. Then click the Selection Tool button. Click the drop-down menu below "Selection Type" and select "Rounded Rectangle." Make a selection in the middle of your icon. Then take the Fill Tool and fill it in with white:

- For the text, I used these settings:

Book Antiqua | Size 4 | color: #507C8C

Once I was done I set that layer to Multiply 100% to make it darker.



And that's it. :)

**Opacities for layers may vary depending upon your image; don't be afraid to experiment!**

Not exactly like the original, kind of looks like it would need more green and yellow, but it's close! XD

Hope this helps someone!
