01itunes-digital-redux
Winner of our contest, submitted by designer Ian Houser.
02itunes-metal
Submitted by serGlum. It's the music note on a volume knob. Clever.
03retrotunes
Submitted by Matt Shimwell. "Keep it real, keep it vinyl!"
04pirate-bay
Ho-ho, very funny: Pirate Bay, a "better way to get content." You naughty, naughty readers voted for this 845 times. We'll let you have this one for giggles.
05itunes-in-the-cloud
Submitted by Stinky9. "The story behind this would be, we are done with the CDs, but we are gonna store them on a cloud-like drive."
06forget-the-damned-circle
Submitted by Scottaburger. "All of Apple's software (iMovie, Garage Band, the Office programs) all feature a beautifully rendered, vector object. Why is this the only stupid, lame, clip-art program icon? In that same vein, I took this awesome image found on Icon Archive, slapped a brassified Apple logo and call it much better."
07replacement-icon
Submitted by Dan Wiesema. "Intricate 3-D multicolored version of Apple's iTunes 10 icon. [The download](http://danwiersema.com/blog/2010/09/05/itunes-10-replacement-icons/) also includes 3 additional color themes, enjoy!"
08itunes-play
Another one submitted by serGlum. "Keeping the style of original but replacing note with arrow, which represents the main function of iTunes - to play.
09itunes-glow
Submitted by serGlum. "Glow different."
10itunes-x
Submitted by Anonymous. "A simple 'play' icon inspired by the QuickTime X logo."
11itunes-time-warp
Submitted by Anonymous, who writes, "I thought it might be cool to borrow from Apple's existing icon language. There's a little QuickTime, Dashboard and Time Machine in there. I'm pretty happy with the result for an hour's worth of work."
12itunes-wave
Submitted by Wendy Dunham. "Lighten up, Steve!"
13itunes-10-more-dignified
Submitted by Allon Lim. "With a revised, more modern eighth note. Personally I thought the icon just needed to look a little more dignified, a little more detail."
14itunes-blue
Submitted by Mitch Said. "Bringing iTunes into the future more elegantly: keeping the blue hues and the less-goofy-looking music note while incorporating elements from the iOS counterpart, with the white icon and subtle radial background."
