The main reason is, that the shape of the document is preserved well - although the icon is so tiny. And, the star seems to appear quite balanced in this version. I first worried about the orange color, because usually yellow is used for indicating "new". But of course - yellow is (given the constraints) almost invisible, so orange seems a great compromise. What else? Mmh, I think the 14x11px version fits better to the overall style of the status bar. The larger ones seem to be "out of place" somehow. So, if somebody wants to have a look at it - I've created an example by adding Paulo's icon to a simple status bar image: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tLL1kYfD-fNZ8d5wkSzydA?feat=directlink Any further thoughts? To me, it's already an improvement - so I'm happy to export the icons and create an issue for that.
