Step7: On each layer select fliter > noise > add noise
*amount = every layer is different (between 5% - 15%)
* select monochromatic
You can stop here if you like or go on to make it an animated icon...
Step8: In Adobe Image ready add 5 or 6 new frames (depending on how many layers you created)
Step9: Starting at frame 2, deselect layer's visibility and repeat as you change frames and layers
So for frame 3 the top 2 layers won't be visible
and for frame 4 the top 3 layers won't be visible...
Step10: Select all frames and change speed to 0.1 seconds per frame
All done!
Post results please! I love seeing them :)

Step 7: Merge all layers (ctrl+alt+e) and copy and paste your image into a new window.
Then resize it to 22pxls by 22 pxls
Drag three copies into your main icon and arrange in a row like so:
Then add a stroke to each mini square (make sure you stroke the inside not the outside)
Step 8: With your first min square, go Image: Adjustments: Hue/Saturation. Then saturate +30
With the second min square, go Adjustments: Hue/Saturation. Then saturate -15
Then with the third mini square, desaturate (ctrl+alt+u)
Add text or mini text if you want!
