Good! Thats the way it should be.

Regarding the logo/icon difference: Usually a logo has the product  
name with well defined style (colors, fonts, format, etc) like the one  
i sent in png. The product name is usually combined with a pic that is  
used as the application icon. In general designers that work for big  
companies make a <product id> (20 - 70 pages) where they define all  
these things in detail. The design id is then used as the rule for  
creating all kind of promotion (from web pages to tshirts and cups).
