01 - The words seem slightly hard to read. I don't know if its just me.. but the textbook could be slightly bigger.
01 - the texture on the icon doesn't work well. i like the coloring and the text, but the texture distracts me.
02 - it's very plain. the font is anything special, and not much was done to the icon in general.
02 - improper text
03 - Ariel with grey skin really doesn't work for me!
05 - Part of the picture looks a bit blurry
05 - it's mine but i don't like it as much in comparison to the others. >.<
05 - there's just way too much going on in this icon. too many brushes, textures, etc.
05 - Too "vintage", I'd expect more colors for an animated icon.
05 - brushes are very bad, and colors are terrible
06 - The dolphins blend into the background too much
06 - too monochromatic, doesn't seem to have a focal point
06 - Black and white doesn't really work when there is so little contrast. Also, the focal point seems to be the tiny text and the little squares while the dolphins are just peripheral.
06 - some color to bring it out would help
06 - i feel like I'm missing something
06 - The idea was good but this style doesn't go well with an animated icon. Plus, the b&w coloring makes it uninteresting.
08 - I feel that the colours are very dull and Aurora and Philip could have been bigger.
08 - no real focal point, too much going on, text hard to read
08 - The icon seems too crowded
08 - It's getting hard to pick these now! This is rather dull colour-wise and could be sharper.
08 - the image is too dark
08 - the colors are a bit washed out
10 - I didn't like the overall quality of the image. It looks a little over sharpened.
10 - It's not sharp enough and the grey frame doesn't fit the icon at all.
11 - Too plain for me, it should have more effects.
13 - it could just be my screen, but the image looks very blurry.
14 - I find it quite difficult to make out what the image actually is.
14 - blurry, and it's hard to see what it's a picture of
14 - The icon doesn't seem clear and the bright parts seem TOO bright that its hard to see what the icon is about.
14 - I can't see what this is supposed to be. It lacks a focal point.
14 - i can't really tell what's going on
14 - strange crop
15 - it took a long time to figure out what was going on in the picture
15 - crop isn't successfull
16 - it's too bright

09 - perfectly matches the theme "magic" The light textures fit the icon and the coloring is great.
