1. Choose a pic, resize it, crope it, do whatever you want to get a base you like ;-)

2. Duplicate the base and set it to screen. Set the opacity to 60% (depending on your base). Maybe you even won't need this step, see my second example, I did not need this layer.

Depending on your base, and on how bright and colorful you want your icon, the only hard thing is to find each layer's right opacity ;)
