This is so hard.
Icon Category:

01: It's dull, could use some more colour or a little something extra. Also looks a little oversharpened.
09: Too oversaturated and dark.
Best:

04: Like the text.
Text Icon Category:
Least:
D: I love the quote but the text and background are just... grey. It need to pop a little more. And the pie looks more like a cookie.
I: It doesn't have any effects or anything to it, it looks like it could have been done in Paint.

Awesome job to everyone, this voting is getting harder. D:

01 - Not enough was done to the icon regarding coloring, saturation, etc.
09 - Oversaturated and as a result too dark
Best
02
07 - Nice coloring
Text Icon Category:
Least
I - maybe a black background isn't the best base to start off with. Also, you should have used two different fonts, a simpler one for the "why'd it have to be" might have worked better
D - The text should stand out more
Best
B - Just DUH!
C - Really cool.

05 - The icon is dark and the red is bleeding into the background (pardon the pun!). Overall the saturation seems off.
09 - Castiel's face looks orange and the icon is quite dark.
Best
02 - The crop is fantastic and the colour well balanced. The text and light twinkle match the icon perfectly.
06 - The icon is sharp and beautifully coloured.
Text Category
Least
A - The font colours blend into the background in some places, making it hard to read.
D - The kerning on the font makes the text hard to read, it's also too similar in colour to the background.
Best
G - I love the shadowing around the font, really makes it stand out.
E - I love the colouring and texture, it really suits the quote you've chosen.

Icon.
Least:
05 - The icon is kinda dark and the red somewhat takes away the effect of the b/w icon and is a bit distracting.
06 - The crops works well, but it appears with such a close crop the quality of the image has been lost and it looks a little blurred.
Best:
08
07 - They're both just altogether great icons.
Text:
Least:
B - The background pic kinda takes away from the effect of a text icon.
D - It's a bit dull, it doesn't really "pop", the text doesn't really stand out from the background.
Best:
F
A - Both simple, yet effective.
Great icons everyone, it was really difficult to chose this round!

Re: Misc LIMS #2: Challenge 4-Supernatural Quotes-VOTING UP!
You can leave your vote as is, but let me repost my restrictions in the opening post of the challenge:
Restrictions:
We'll be doing one regulare icon, what you wish to do to this icon is up to you. And then for the second icon, where you can use any Supernatural quote you wish from any source and make a text icon out of it, for this icon you can use texture/brushes/text just no caps.
So everyone had a chance to use any sort of a brush / texture (and this appears to be a stock texture) so there is nothing wrong with it. Just as long as you don't use a Supernatural cap of any sorts you will be fine, so I don't really see your reason to be a valid one ... when using textures (or stock textures) was available to all. Especially when icons C, D, E, H and I all contain brushes/textures/images etc.
Then again I'm not telling you to change your vote I'm just pointing out that more than one icon used images

Least:
01 - The icon is kind of dull, there could have been done more in terms of coloring. Although it is oversharpened in places.
05 - It is a little too dark and contrast is lacking. Also the red doesn't really add anything to the icon.
Best:
03 - The text is a little overpowering, but the coloring is just beautiful.
06 - The icon might be slightly blurry, but the coloring is really nice.
Text Icon Category:
Least:
I - The black background is somehow not working very well and as it has already been mentioned, a different font for the first part of the quote would have worked better.
A - Some of the text blends into the background and is therefore hard to read.
