Simple one!
Turning into
using PS CS2.

01. Start with your base. Your base has got to be very bright, so duplicate it, set it to Screen (opacity depends on the brightness of your base). Merge these two layers. I named it layer 1.
02. Duplicate layer 1 and set it to Multiply, opacity 50%.
03. Duplicate layer 1 again, and set it to Soft Light, opacity 100%.
04. Create a new layer, fill it with #f9ffb8 and set it to Color Burn, opacity 100%.
And that's it! If you think your icon is too yellow, lower the opacity of the Color Burn-layer. That's what I did with the third example-icons.
Here are some other examples:

Tutorial!! A very simple and short one, including Selective Color.
From to
using PS CS2 (NOT translatable)

01. Start with your base. I used a screencap from the movie 'The Da Vinci Code'. If your base is a little to dark, duplicate it and set it to Screen, opacity 100%.
02. Create a new layer, filled with #070732, and set it to Exclusion, opacity 100%.
03. Create a Selective Color-layer, using this settings:

Reds
Cyan: -100
Magenta: +10
Yellow: +50
Black: +5

Cyans
Cyan: +50
Magenta: -50

Blacks
Cyan: +50
Magenta: -10
Yellow: -10
Black +10

And that's it! I cut the icon in pieces and pasted them on a white background. As a font, I used Times New Roman, size 10, in CAPS.

Made a new tutorial, since someone threw a basketball in my face, and I need some distraction from a terrible headache..=(
This one will work really well for screencaps:
Turning into
using PS CS2.

01. Start with your base. I used a screencap from the movie ‘Secret Window’. For this tutorial it’s very important to have a light base, so duplicate it at least once and set it to Screen, opacity 100%.
02. Create a new layer, filled with #120933, and set it to Exclusion, opacity 100%.
03. Create a new layer, filled with #f0bc9d, and set it to Multiply, opacity 100%.
04. Duplicate your base, drag it to the top, and set it to Soft Light, opacity 100%.
05. Now your done! If you think your icon is to dark, duplicate one of your Screen-layers.

That’s it!
Some other examples:
