Thanks very much for putting in this effort.
However, there are a number of problems. In increasing order of subjectivity:
- The 16x16 has white dots in the corners.
- There are black edges around the icons. Those need to be transparent.
- Contrast and saturation are rather low. I think it would be better
to overlay the Cygwin symbol on top of the terminal rather than
blending them.
- The terminal's screen is too busy with both the prompt and the 'C'.
I think the ">_" would need to go.
- Even then, I'm not convinced this will be as good as either of the
original icons, because it will still look like a compromise, with the
glossy Cygwin symbol sticking out of the more matte terminal screen in
the bigger versions and getting squashed in the 16x16 version.
