Dave Woodward’s icon:

I made the colors of the “little guy” more saturated, and gave him red shoes and made the little antennae ball red. I lightened up the typewriter as well as gave it a cooler hue to help it recede into the background. I made the vertical height of the guy’s antennae shorter so that I could scale him up (which is why he is a little blurry at the full 128×128 pixel size). As a result the icon looks significantly better when scaled down. I also hand tweaked the 16×16 pixel icon to make sure his shoes stood out.

When placing a new brand into an existing market, one of the things to
identify is the values presented within the brands of your competition.
For icons, the overriding value to consider is that of colour.
