I´m little bit confused with the rating. Please - if you really think this tutorial is "terrible", write me reason why, so I can improve it...

I like when I have control over the result, and this way the icon is still from vector layers - this is always useful.

By the way, next tutorial will be about adding the christmas ribbon to this cube, stay tuned ;)

the idea is really good, however the result is not so very realistic...

looks like lot of any other signature-like tutorials (extract something, add brushes, smudge, recolorize, and it´s done), plus woman is extracted from background very inaccurate, but the result is still quite nice. Although the recoloring process can be created in only one step, not with so many gradient maps...

the inside of the circle is ugly blurred, but the rest is nice.
