So cool to see all the difference, and yes similarities, between all the makers!

Exactly, this is why I love icon battles! Most often I'm so impressed by how differently people handle the same caps, and a lot of icons make me think 'wow, why didn't I think of that?' And then there are those funny cases where there are more similarities - like with cap 9 here, something about it just screams 'center crop with negative space' so I'm not surprised most of us went with almost the same crop! :D
