Why are you using a thin black line around this icon? Will it stay?
Good work on you Sparkling !

I was thinking the wolf outline shouldn't be under the crystal look.. you know that white gradient you have in a circle to give it that shiny look? I was thinking that you should make the wolf part of it's own crystal..
I dunno if I got that across properly...
ie. right now it looks like the wolf is inside a glass marble and it doesn't really "pop" out to me .. =) Other than that, it's a nice icon. =)

In short, this and the WARP Graphics logo http://www.elfquest.com/images/About.gif do seem very similar. But, as mentioned before, the two products (amaroK and ElfQuest) are so different that it has little or no meaning ;)
Also: Very nice work! If this one is chosen over my personal favourite (amaroK: Wolf Howl) then I shall be only very little disappointed ;)

The artwork which inspired and served as my original to sketch, vectorise and create the icon is this: http://da-flow.schaekel.org/da-flow/daten/wolf.jpg and in my mind there is no copyright violation in designing an icon based on a old drawing.
I did not even know the site you mentioned above, but what you say is true this could
lead to compications.
Sounds like this icon will maybe be useless.

I hate coinsidences like this.
I worked on the logo and updated it, now it should fit the diffrent views and needs of people better.
Take a glance :)

Besides, what you reffer as "a subtle analogy for sending media waves" has already been (extremely well) done by euxneks and his icon "wolf howl" for this contest.
To flow: please don't get me wrong, i do like your icon, i'm just discussing details.

1.) It doesnt matter how often users click on an icon or if they would at first sight associate a speaker with a sound app.
Its the psychological view that counts:
For example:
-Music-match icon:
Any Speaker in there : No
Its 2 "Shapes that match each other"
-Winamp icon:
Any Speaker in there : No
A Sine wave
-Sonique Icon:
Speaker: .... No
Lets continue where i begann naming examples: Fact is Original and Icons connected to the name/philosophy of an app stay better in mind then a simple or even perfectly designed speaker.
A Speaker has no Philosophy, Character or specific feature. Its a Speaker.

Still its an Stand-alone app. :)
I think a combination is the right way to go so the update has the wanted speaker blended in too. :)
P.S.:Its nice discussing with you and i very much like your icon im quite sure i couldnt make a speaker look that beautifull ;)
