This is a try of my own ability to draw ice - i thouth my cold wand went well so i tried going more in that direction this time. This took me about 1½ hours of work and might need some more. But i like it alot as it is right now.

i don't know if i should darken it a bit or just leave it - give me a commend on that ^^

It looks cartoonish, but I like that it is a lot more defined now, and you improved. :) Useful.
 
I assume you did not understand what I meant by saying "rework the background".

What I meant was a complete make-over of it.
The current effect is neither visually appealing nor flatters the icon itself.
Ice emerges from the bottom right corner, but the effect is placed in the middle.
That doesn't make sense.

Try diagonal effects, such as in Blizzard Entertainment's original icon for "Blizzard".

Dude :) Imma help ya!

For the background, do not use white with opacity down on black. It's will look grey and dull. Instead, use blueish colors for the one. :) Use strokes of different opacity on top of eachother like you did, and then, blend them out, so it looks smooth. :)
