Thank you! I made that some years ago and always felt the text was not quite in the right place, but am getting better at placement and sizing, I think! Here's another of my blank space icons; again not all that brilliant, but I love it anyway!

Your hints were really good though, and definitely make sense!

I don't really understand how to use layering, as I haven't got any programmes at home, but I love the way your icon looks! At some point I'd love to spend more time and effort with icons, but for now I just play as it's hard to find time (I think all of us have issues there!)
