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

- Cropped this image from Screencap Paradise down to 100x100:



- Used Auto Contrast to brighten up the image a bit, then duplicated the base layer and set it to screen 50%:



- Created a new color layer (#77A0CF) set to soft light 100%:


>

- Upped the Hue/Saturation by +35:



- Duplicate that Hue/Saturation layer you just made and change the settings to soft light, opacity and fill both at 80%:



- Selective Color adjustment layer with the following settings:

Reds: 0 | 0 | +10 | -10
Yellows: 0 | 0 | +10 | +10
Greens: +100 | -50 | +100 | +50
Cyans: +100 | -10 | -100 | +10
Blues: +100 | -10 | -10 | +10
Neutrals: +10 | +5 | +10 | -5



- Then upped the Brightness & Contrast by +5:



That's it!

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

Hope this helps someone!
