You've got great colouring here, but the text placement in some of them could be more centred to speak. It's a good rule of thumb to avoid having the text touch either the figures in the icon or the edges of the icon and to centre the text within the blank space you have (if you're making that type of icon that is). Hope that helps. Love the colouring:)

thank-you for all the advice! ill be sure to keep it mind! in all honesty, i prefer textless icons and tiny text icons better, but i wanted to try something like this so i can learn how to be better at text placement.

I started out making textless icons as well, but I've gotten to the point now where I almost prefer text icons since most of the time a picture isn't worth a thousand words;) It can drive you crazy trying to find a place to put text sometimes though (or picking out the right font out of hundreds... I'm always forgetting the names of the fonts I want to use then I have to spend hours paging through my font files).
