NEGATIVE COMMENTS
01 - The light texture overpowers the icon.
01 - icon is oversharpened and there are a lot of light textures/bubbles. Colouring isn't appropriate, cause girl became red and yellow. And of course you shouldn't use Blur on bubbles
01 - Too much going on with all the spheres, it seems crowded
01 - I don't like how the light effect looks with the photo
02 - The colors make me really dizzy.
02 - I felt this to be simple, some sort of texture would have enhanced it.
04 - too plain and simple, overall uninteresting
04 - otp? I don't get it.
05 - Too busy and difficult to read the text.
05 - the picture of what I think is a fish (?) detracts from the image and just looks out of place. plus, it's hard to tell exactly what it is. I'm just guessing it's a fish based on the text, whih also seems to overpower the icon, being so large and just white.
05 - Dizzy-ing color choces.
05 - the icon looks too busy, font is too big.
05 - the frame and the text don't match the icon at all.
05 - it's very flat and jumbled up, which makes it difficult to see what it is.
05 - the text is kind of hard to read, and when combined with the border, it seems to be too much.
05 - I really don't get it.
06 - font used is a bit plain, there could have been more color.
09 - There is no point to there being a teddy bear on it.
09 - the text and little picture of the teddy bear don't have anything to do with the rest of the icon, so they look out of place and feel random.
09 - The teddy bear just seems out of place
09 - the teddy bear seems out of place
11 - The yellow and green background detracts from the subject.
11 - it doesn't look like anything was done to the original picture except for the cropping and resizing, and the yellow-and-lime-green background that was put in behind her doesn't match with the picture.
11 - yellow and green background doesn't quite make sense in this icon, the colors clash with the main focus.
11 - The background image doesn't work well.
11 - the yellow and green don't flow with the icon.
12 - The lollipop looks out of place and unanchored
12 - the changes to the image don't really work for me--the stylization of it doesn't suit the photo well in my opinion.
14 - icon is blurry and this pink border is too heavy and really contrasts
15 - The black and star like texture on the side didn't fit with the image.
15 - too many textures/brushes were used, it overpowers the image.
16 - I think the notebook background was chosen because it's trendy rather than because it suits the subject. And that odd rectangle with back-to-front text doesn't really seem to belong there.
17 - image is very grainy, asian texture doesn't quite make sense here.
17 - blurry - you can barely see that those brown blobs are Oreos. The Chinese symbols are nice, but I'm not sure what they are doing there, especially in combination with "mmmm...".
18 - it's just very...plain. i can't really read the text either.
20 - icon is too simple, it looks like it hasn't any work with. It need some more decorative elements.
20 - The M&Ms stand out too much from the background, it doesn't mesh
20 - the background doesn't compliment the M&Ms well
21 - Vitamins is misspelled. If not for that, I'd love it.
21 - The font coloring used doesn't work, would have gone with something to contrast the m&m's.
22 - icon is oversharpened and too simple. Interesting idea, but it needs more work.
23 - a bit plain, a better font could have been used.
24 - the cropping is weird with all that empty space on the right. it makes the icon look incomplete, like the iconmaker was going to put something in that empty space, but then just forgot.
24 - Looks a bit odd for some reason, like a simple crop job.
24 - while it used M&Ms, I don't think it was that great of an image to use.
25 - icon is too simple, it needs more decorative elements and too much yellow!
25 - Too yellow, M&Ms are colorful and they should have played around with the colors a bit more. The icon needs sharpening.
25 - Yellow colouring doesn't work here.
25 - It feels too overwhelmingly yellow, I feel like I"m missing the focus
26 - Not sure what the white fuzzy is on the m&m.
26 - the icon should have better coloring, it looks like it hasn't been adjusted and it needs to be sharper
26 - too dark and not sharp enough, and that white blob in the middle M&M is weird. Simple icons can be excellent, but this one isn't.
26 - It's missing something, a border, texture enchanced, etc.
26 - I really don't get it.
27 - The icon is too sharp and I can't read the text. The coloring should be better.
27 - the color is too vibrant - it hurts to look at for too long.
29 - Text is hard to read.
31 - the misspelling of "vitamins" just makes me cringe and I keep looking at that and I can't see anything else in the icon but the misspelling.
31 - It's "vitamins" not "vitamines"! Spelling matters!
31 - The colouring makes the M&Ms look like pills. Text doesn't help it either.
