I really don't enjoy text in icons, except when it's cleverly used (#4) or it's just, you know, "funny"? I think those would work so much better without the text (except #10, that one works because it's kind of subtle). The colouring is, nevertheless, superb. I like how you can work well with both dark and saturated colours. You also have a great use of texture. The only I don't really like in this batch are #3 (too dark and... too little colour? I think) and #12, because it seems overly sharpened to me. But, I do love all those colours (and greys) of yours. Love what you did with #9! I like that kind of violet-grey.
