Connie, where's your icon from? The pixel fonts used for it make me cringe every time I see them. I dunno who made it originally and how they'd feel about it, but I'd be more than happy to remake it for you in order to save myself from continued trauma.
I don't like it. It's too busy. If you like it, you can still use it, but if not, here are the things I could do to improve it. If you want me to try any of these, just let me know. -remove the "50 things I am not allowed to do at hogwarts" from the bottom. (Which I did, here (http://www.upon-tiptoe.net/Clara/Requests/connie_16hogwarts2.jpg), before I added it in the first place.) -find a different font for the blackboard -- the one I used is a little difficult to read on some letters, but despite poking through several hundred fonts, I found very few handwriting fonts that will go that small. -find the original image, recrop it so that the white space is at the top and not the bottom, put the "50 things..." text there, redo the blackboard text keeping or changing any of the fonts. -give up on trying to integrate it into a picture and just do text-only likee the other two 50 things icon makers have done.
