I've worn glasses since the first grade and understand wanting it to be clear.

I really love that handwriting effect in ipiccy. I used to use it all the time. Unfortunately I think all of those graphics were lost in my recent laptop breakdown. I lost my hard drive completely :(

The other exception of course are "comic" or meta icons where the text really is the point.
I always like these, but have never attempted to make one of my own.

Thanks for all your lovely compliments!!
