Bandit Hood: better, but I'm not sure if it also fits better (style)
Blanket: both look good, but I wouldn't recognize both as blankets
Hard Spike: better, but in my opinion too long, since it's dropped from Spiky Mushrooms who don't have that long spikes
Jelly Beans: I agree they should be smaller, but you hardly recognize them now...
Lazurite Crystal, Heart and Shard: the new ones look a bit cube-like to me, is this on purpose?
Powder: not sure... the outline seems too dark?
Santa Globe: the old one looks much better because it's bigger (yes, logic says it should be smaller)
Silver Bell: better, though I still wouldn't recognize it
Wooden Mouboo: better, but looks very close to the Chocolate Mouboo to me
Yeti Claw: old one to big, new one to small, I can't see it's a claw now
I agree that the bandit hood isn't quite in the right style. I'll work on that. The blanket I was stuck on for a while and I decided just to do something boring for it; I'll work on that too. The hard spike I've already made shorter again, before reading that. The jelly beans... I'll try to make them more recognisable, but IMO the old ones looked nothing like jelly beans either. I did make the Lazurite icons more cube-like because I thought that's the shape they were supposed to be. the powder looks like a solid block rather than powder and you're right, the outline is too dark. I'll do something about that. I don't like the old snow globes at all, but I think mine are pretty terrible as well; I'll work on them. I'm not sure they should be larger, though. I might change the angle of the bell so you can see inside, and I might change the shape and maybe direction of the wooden mouboo.

- I like the old herb icon, and I wonder if with the new ones it'd be needed to also redraw the plant to look differently for each sort of them.
- For the new yeticlaw, if I wouldn't knew what it is, I couldn't tell it's a claw.
About the dark outlines, I think the guidelines say no black ones, but I see the benefits of having dark ones.
Yeah, I removed the picture from the grass seeds for that reason—it seemed too modern to me. I'll try adding it back or just adding some text.
I'm still not really happy with the new herb icons and I'll probably redraw them again from scratch, but if I work something out that looks good and you want to use it I'd be happy to make alternate versions of the herb plant as well (probably completely different types of bush, too, not just different leaves).
The yeti claw I actually tried to draw as a fingernail, since yetis are (or at least, would be if they were real) apes, but I realise it's kind of impossible to tell what it is. I might try drawing it larger or something.
Unless I made a mistake somewhere, none of the outlines I've used are black. I think they all have a value of at least 10, and most should be much lighter.
