    4. 1st: contact, 2nd: gallery, 3rd: music
    5. yes
    6. no, unrelated to creativity (no doubt), but the icon meanings are ambiguous. e.g: the carrot holding the frame may imply photo-shots/gallery
    7. 2
    8. 4
    9. yes,market price, i feel that the icons will be good for branding, the carrot's a great copyright asset
    10. In general,
    i)the vector icon's definitely better
    ii) the meanings are ambiguous though,labeling perhaps?

    Probably not, don't see the need for new icons. Also prefer more conventional icons that are easier to interpret.

    10.
    Pixel set is abit low resolution. Vector set is fine resolution wise. Other than that, it's a matter of preference if you like it or not. Personally I prefer more traditional/conventional designs.
