Least quality
19- Speed's face seems a little stretched and the colour looks washed out and grainy. Also the brush doesn't quite fit well and makes all of the elements look separate from each other rather than with each other in order to blend the icon together.
17- Very plain and a bit blurry. It looks like the actual picture was just cropped and that's it, which kind of defeats the purpose. Perhaps sharpening or adding a little bit of contrast would have gone a long way, even if it's meant to be plain and simple.
10 - I understand the effect used but it makes Speed look a bit unclear.
Top quality
12 - The style is awesome! The colouring and the clarity really pop and the bordering compliments the background really well.
03 - The colours are vibrant and it's the type of icon that doesn't really need much. It's so different from the original screencap and pleasing to the eye. It's sharp, but also soft at the same time.
Great job everyone.

Least Quality
11 - The green that was used makes the image too yellow. Also the rest of the icon is very dark and hard to look at. And the face is also a bit grainy, especially around the forehead.
13 - The blue is making only the parts of the face that it's on pop, giving the illusion that he is normally that color. The text is also grainy in spots and tends to blend in with the background.
10 - The effect wa a nice toucut it makes the image and backgrund very grainy and hard to look at. The copping is a bit odd in the fact that it's more of the body than the face.
Top Quality
15 - The simpleness of the text is what drew me in at first and the coloring was a close second. The main focus is on the face with a bit of blur when the eye gets to the shoulder.
14 - The simpleness drew me to this on as well. The angle of the crop and the brush work very well together.

Least Quality
17 - I'm not sure anything was done to this image aside from being resized and cropped. You can get away with that in cases where the image is nice enough, and high enough quality but I don't think it works here, because it's awfully graining and the color quality isn't very appealing.
14 - The crop could have been interesting but it's a little too tight, and the decorative brush used here only seems unnecessary as it's only distracting from the subject in the picture.
19 - Both the picture and the brushes are low quality, leaving the icon feeling grainy or unfocused.
Best Quality
24. Nice crop. Great coloring. Appropriately styled and used text, that doesn't draw focus from the image.
01. Nice use of textures, color and gradient give the image a very nostalgic feel. Not 100% sure about the text and it's placement but still a great icon.

17: simple and plain, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, this particular cap was not of the best quality and it kind of looks like it was cropped and resized.

2- text on the side is distracting from the icon instead of blending
Top Quality
5- good clarity, color, cropping and awesome font
11 i love the coloring-even if it is a bit on the yellow side, the effect is cool

19- Speed is a little washed out and a little blurry. Also, the brush is a little random, I cant really tell what it is even, it doesnt seem to work with the rest of the icon.

21- Its dark and grainy
Best
3- The coloring are great and the text is perfect.
5- The font is simple but fits very good in the icon.
