After looking though the icons tonight, one of the icons really caught my eye. Jonas take on the fonts icon is really slick, so I decided to figure out how he made it. 

In this case Illustrator is a real dealbreaker if you want to get the perspective right. Illustrator has this nice 3D Extrude & Bevel effect, which is perfect for this specific task of creating depth to a complex object. Look at the example below. Times new roman, 3D Extrude & Bevel effect – and you got your starting point for your vectors for photoshop :)

Check out the rest in the PSD file – and give me a poke with a stick if you want any further details on the creation process :)
