    u should its uploaded as a png on here. for some reason my vlingo one looks a tad different from yours. are u using a gradient inside the icon (like where the chat bubble are in mine) or are u just using a solid color?

    here is vLingo and Shazam

    ckybam69, thanx for contributing and keeping this theme alive !
    I think your vLingo looks pretty nice. It's your shazam that is a tad too big and blurrry for my taste ( and its missing the circle.) I'll redo it if you don't mind.

    Here's how I proceed to do my icons:
    1/ Find the graphic you want to use.
    2/Control+click the layer to get the graphic ouline . Hide this graphic .
    3/Click the layer with the icon base
    4/Copy/paste the new shape you made with this ouline (you shouldn't see anything because it's the same gradient as the base )
    5/Control+M for 'curve menu".Darken a little bit the shape
    6/Add the layer style I provided.

    voila!
    Hope this wasnt too confusing and helped.

    your icons are way better then mine. i am still new to photoshop so i am trying to understand your instructions, i can get to 4 but when i paste the new shape i get a white base and i think its because my color selected is white. the only way i can get it to show no color is if i am just doing a selection of the object i want to use. and when i color the selection on the icon base it comes out all wrong. I will keep playing with it and leave the icons to the pro untill i can figure it out.
