I really like the movie icons. However, the borders seems too plain? Try adding icon masks / premade icon borders or something so that it won't be too plain.

As for the icons, I agree with the plain borders. Also a lot of them are low in quality. But you're doing good so far. flowers.gif

FRASIER! I've never seen any icons for that show before...God do I have dorky taste.

Anyway, I think they look great. I personally don't like too much going on in movie icons, so I think they look fine the way they are.

thanks for the feedback all


and lol, I dunno about making the borders fancier or using premade icon bases. cause I'm not sure how to overlay and blend (since I do all of my cropping and resizing in Animation shop itself and not in PSP) the bases over the animations.

Your icon borders still have that boldness to them. I say, you should tone down the border px. Maybe to 1 or 2?
