    I like #94, it seems very balanced and clean.

    Yup, this is the one I'd consider. Maybe even remove that inner drop shadow to keep it flat.

    Personally I'd develop a few more, here's a few pointers:

    • Drop shadows over complicate the icon, keep it simple.
    • 90 & 89 tell me it's a playfull app where as 94 feels more serious. Ask yourself what you want people to think. Harsh edges says serious, rounded says fun :)
    • If using multiple elements, try and use contrasting colours so each element stands out. Currently 94 merges slightly too much, and at a small scale it makes my eyes go a little weird.

    Personally I like 94 but could do with some simplifying

    I think #62 is clearly the best. It's clean, it's stylish and it looks professional. And it will probably look good even on tiny screens with tiny resolution.

    I think #89 and #90 are pretty good too, but the flag is wrong. Blue and red are mixed up!

    i think 94 is good if you can balance out the shadow and may be adjust the blue color a little bit as it seems to blending into the blue in the flag. Also the shadow.

    but overall i think this is the best as the other are more like playful kind of apps.

    I like #89. I can see how it matches the function of the app.
