Icon Design Brief
The project goal is to design one icon for a mobile phone backgammon game.
The game is this one:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/ac42f61a-03b1-e011-a53c-78e7d1fa76f8
This app icon is for a Windows Phone game (that will also be available in Windows 8), so I would need the PNG and Photoshop files for the app icon in multiple sizes (the smaller versions could have a different, simpler shape if needed):
51x51
99x99
120x120
150x150
173x173
200x200
210x210
270x270
The game already is in market, has tens of thousands of users, and I'm looking for a more professional looking icon. This game is, by far, the most complete backgammon app of any iPhone or Windows Phone.
The icon should not have any copyrighted images.
Icons should be square (as this is the way app icons, or "tiles" are used in Windows Phone or Windows 8 metro style).
here are many examples of WIndows Phone app icons ("tiles"):

I am looking for an icon that conveys that this is backgammon, it is fun, and the game is the most complete, high end game available, but also that beginners can use to learn. Design should be modern, that indicates that the game is 'high quality' of the game.
I'll attach images game screenshots, and the current icon.

Hi, you have all sent some great designs, thank you!.
A quick reminder, to ensure the designs are viable:
- the design has to be a 100% SQUARE design (this is an app for Windows Phone, not for iPhone)
- the design has to look good both with White background, as well as with Black background
- the design has to look good in the highest and smallest resolutions that I sent in the briefing (the smaller sizes could be variations/simplifications of the large version)
For examples of a white background see here:
- http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/ac42f61a-03b1-e011-a53c-78e7d1fa76f8
An example of a black background would be having the app icon replace any of the icons here:
