Back to fire.
Fire in the sense of burning, aka K3B "Burn Baby Burn".I did not have a hamburger, but I'm slowly getting the designer mojo back.
also took the opportunity to make some hidef icons for some devices. like for example example....
and the old time favorite floppy disk, just for fun, really, I know no one uses them any more :).

The (DD) floppy icon is great, as every other oxygen icon :P
However, your floppy seems to be a bit out of proportion. I actually have some of them lying around here for reference, and they have a wider label space (i.e. the label goes further to the sides), and a smaller arrow at the bottom. And the shutter also looks a bit out of proportions although I can't tell exactly how without measuring it.
Nevertheless, great work!

for the CD with the film thingy, the reflection looks a bit weird, because at first sight I thought it was a shadow, and that the white parts of the film thingy were translucent. Only later I understood that it could be a reflection.
anyway, you are a fantastic designer.
Have a small nit though - the floppy disc has holes on boths sides, the one on the right (yours is on the left) was the read-only flag, the one of the left was for guidance and always open.
You also could not see the sliding channel, as that was on the backface
;)
The standard package for NAND flash chips is the TSOP48. I'm assuming the chip is meant as a storage icon.
Beautiful icons though.
Otherwise they look awesome.
@johndrinkwater nope not all flopy did had holes in bowth sides, i was the type of person that drilled holes in some 2
@Tim yeah there is, i should have refactured that 2 its a 32x32 thing :)
@johndrinkwater: You're wrong, this is obviously a double density disk, not a high density one ;-)

The reflexion is only visible in the 256x256 icon other version dont have it.
I'm trying to ressurect an 1997 laptop.
No CD nor USB, US keyboard layout and the solution is:
- taram -> dk!
With Damn Small Linux, of course.
Unfortunately, with DSL = no kde. :-(
@braço.
PS: Tested Fedora 11 kde. Great!
i "have" a hamburger (present tense ie. you're holding it!)
i "had" a hamburger (past tense, it's in your stomach!)
your English still rocks by the way. this is not meant to be mean or anything!!
Respects!
In spanish: Se que sos brasilero asi que tal vez me entiendas mas si hablo en español. La reflexión en el CD no esta correcta. Solo se veria esa reflexion en caso de que uno mire al icono desde abajo. Si uno lo mira de frente no tiene porque ver esa reflexion (la reflexion esta detras del "coso negro ese").
De todas formas, gran trabajo! Sigue asi.
Creo que ayudas mucho a la comunidad KDE, Sigue asi!
About the reflexion you are correct but icons are more descriptive imagery than correctness.
How did you made the structure on the floppy metal and on the plastic of the ic?
Best regards
With Hard work :) the source svg file pretty much explains the tricks involved there.
