i would suggest to make all fonts the same, if you want to have fonts on the icons. It will be a way to recognize your software easy. You see one type of font and you say, "ah, thats one of dmitrys apps!"

But what would you like, something more glossy? (its been a trend nowadays) Or maybe brushed, or a la iPhone? I can do some drafts if you want. I recentry did some for my Photopro package but not all of your apps and it was B/W a la iPhone and reflection.

and btw, what do you mean by "big" ? :o i hope not more than 320x320 :D

I think he means 512x352 ;)

...and as someone who does this stuff professionally, I agree about the fonts: pick one font and use it for your website header graphics and ALL your apps. This is the best kind of branding you can do, as people will come to associate that font with you anywhere they see it.

Change the color palette for each app's font, but use the same effects (bevel, glow, use of caps, etc.) for everything.
