You don't need to know what it is without the model since it is not meant to be used without the model. (even though it cannot be used with the model since the model is a doodad...)

btw, 'make it clearer' sounds like an order, it would be nicer if you asked me to or suggested me to make it clearer.

I'm just giving you suggestions, you seem like you can't deal with criticism.
 
You didn't say anything about looking good, you said this: "I couldn't tell what it was without the model." to which I replied with the perfectly valid point that it isn't meant to be used without the model.

Then came the following: "make it clearer." and now: "I told you what you should do to make it look good" to which I ask this: Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?

Now, there is nothing wrong with making suggestions, but it would make you appear nicer if you didn't present them in the form of orders. I'm saying this because it will make people more inclined to listen to you. I'm not against you, I'm trying to explain to you that being polite will make people take you more seriously.

But then again, if it isn't going to be used without the model, what use does it has since it's a dodad.
 
I believe that an icon should convey a message. I should glance at an icon and instantly think PIZZA, or ROCK or maybe ZOMBIE or something of the sort. It's the point of icons.

For this, I understand that it's challenging and you'd rather just do an edit of a screenshot rather than a whole icon from scratch and that's cool. We'll roll with that.

To be honest, I still can't tell where the eyes are and what part of the icon represents the mouth. I really can't.
