    Honestly, I don't think either of those will do you any favours! :(

    I'd get a mean looking vegetable for the icon front and centre - maybe with a crazy look in his eyes!

    And ditch the text - that never really looks good on an icon!

    Hope that helps!

    QS :D

    Remember, your icon will only be 57X57 on an Iphone list. This is why text is bad, because you can almost never read it (as I know you can't with your icon). Your best bet is to just have the tomato character, as this is the most easily recognizable item at any size.

    Before you decide on an icon, test it at 57X57, and see whether or not people can still recognize it. If not, then you need to change it. Goos luck!

    I meant to post last night but it looks like you worked it out by now... The look doesn't quite work for me yet... To me the tomato looks more like it has a stroke and is about to puke...

    This is a little bit more of an aggressive look and lighting...

    ...maybe a more vibrant background helps to get noticed...

    ... or just reduce it to the face...
