While I haven't yet fully settled everything with my new desktop computer, the scanner works with it and by now its network does too, so I could scan the Rodney!RatCreature doodle I did a while ago and turn it into my 109th icon!
One thing you *could* do (although I'm aware that it'd be a little out of keeping with the rest of your grayscale icons) would be to make the lemon, and only the lemon, yellow. That would also make it stand out from the rest of the icon.
I might be the only person who has trouble making the lemon connection, though, because I'm sort of notoriously dense at picking up the finer points of visual metaphors. (I'd actually thought it was a squeeze bottle of something.)
No, making it yellow would break my icon concept. I only use black, white, and one dark and one light grey for the images and in a few I used a third kind in-between grey on the text. Keeping it that way for overall consistency of my icons is more important to me than visual clarity in a single one.
Well, it's not as if incomprehensibility is out of line with the usual fandom icon ;) (thinks of tiny, tiny fonts, too fast changing gifs and the ton of effects obscuring the pictures in some icons...)
What *is* with the tiny text in people's icons, anyway? I've never really understood that. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of point in putting text into an icon if no one can read it ...
