I love that icon! But I'm choosing not to take it personally ;).
LOL! I only used the "You're an idiot" icon because it was the one I had originally used for this post -- in which I was calling myself an idiot. *g* BTW the icon is meant to be a kind of Canadian in-joke. Because Canada is bilingual, everything is written in English and French, so you'll get things like cereal boxes with English on one side and French on the other.
What peeves me is that I'll make a really nice icon and then have absolutely no idea how to replicate it.
I ran into that exact problem last night, though in my case I was trying to re-do my Barcelona McKay icon (which I'm now subjecting you to) because there were (and still are) some areas I'd like to fix. However, no matter what I tried, I only seemed to make it worse. In the end, I decided to leave it faults and all. And I know this probably doesn't sound like the same problem, but there were many parts of the first version that I did want to keep but couldn't replicate.
*Sigh* I think I'm going to have to start taking notes when I work on icons, even if it's just to record things like the kind of font I'm using for the text!
