 <p>Full-color icons should be rendered with a simple orthogonal view and no real or isometric perspective. 
To provide depth a raised effect can be applied to mimic the Z-axis. Please keep the effect subtle though! 
Raising the object more than 2 detail units (4 nominal pixels) is not recommended.</p>

a pleasing grid presentation among other applications, the aspect ratio should not be extreme. Very narrow or

beautiful application icon: it is the face of the application, and the first visual element a user sees when 
browsing for new applications.</p>
