First Tutorial!
Hi! Im brand new to the world of LJ & Icon_Tutorial but here goes...
From
To 
- Made with PSPx
- Easy
Take your base

Duplicate it & the desaturate it -100
Adjust >> Hue/Saturation/Lightness >> -100
Then set it to soft light 100% opacity

Now duplicate this layer

Next put in a new raster layer & flood fill it with #0038b0
Set this to Exclusion at around 22% opacity

Now you make a new Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer
Layers >> New adjustment layer >> Brightness/Contrast
Set the brightness to -26 & the contrast to 7
Set this layer to screen 100% opacity

Finally, duplicate the Brightness/Contrast layer but change this one to luminance 100% opacity

Thats it! Feel free to have a play about with the opacitys depending on how your icon looks in each stage!
Other examples...

Hopefully I did everything right! I really hope you like this tutorial, please comment & friend me (I currently have about 1 friend!) if you want! x
