The concept is good, but the key could IMHO be more rounded, the border between front and top face shouldn't be that strong (it could be probably even left out completely) and the shadow in 22x22 is too wide. Could you perhaps also use slightly darker colour for the letter (bigger contrast might look better)? And the border in 256x256 should be 1px wide.

Border between front and top has been eliminated, border width on 256x256 has been reduced to 1px; the key looks much better. Key has been rounded on large sizes, sightly on small version, 16x16 is left untouched. The latter has been darkened for better contrast. Comments welcome.

The contrast is now good. However, top faces should be brighter the front faces (see [1]) and darker parts should be towards back. The shadow feels a little awkward, try moving it closer to the key and less blurry in 256x256 and making it more blurry in the other sizes.
Note that you can use border to separate the top and front faces but a really soft one, I think that it would help to have it there after you fix the top face lighting. Especially in the smaller sizes without the border it makes the key look taller.

Agree with Martin. And you have to work on the border on 256x256 - it is too thick and blurry :)

Top faces are brighter now and soft border added for easy distinction. Shadows on either size should be fine.

Look better now :) But the borders are blurry - and the letter is a bit blurry too :D

I've edited the 256x256 to show some further suggestions. I tweaked the gradients, the blurriness and the shadow. It might be perhaps worth to also tweak a bit with the perspective (the top face does not seem 100% correct to me). See the attachments for reference.

Tweaked the top on 256x256. Because of the curve shape, I think that is the it can be done.

What exactly have you changed? The attached image seems identical to what I attached in the above quoted e-mail.

The top face is slightly rounded.

Hrm, I still don't see the difference, but never mind the 256x256 is fine as is. Could you also update the other sizes accordingly with the 256x256 one? Plus, seeing the icons over the plate layer -- could you enlarge the 22x22 one? IMHO it occupies too little of the available canvas.

Top face is adjusted from 22x22 to 48x48 size. 22x22 version is enlarged to occupy more space as possible. I also set 48x48 icon to scalable. Comment welcome.

The smaller sizes still differ from 256x256 in terms of gradients usage. I think the 256x256 looks better, so please adjust the <= 48x48 sizes, it shouldn't be too much work (there are about three or four gradients in each size...) :)

Gradients adjusted to match 256x256. Comments welcome.

Looks much better! Could you also play also with the shadow in 48x48 bellow? I think it's too strong in these sizes, sans 22x22 where it's invisible... Other than that, I have no further comments.
