Eugene Artsebasov from the TurboMilk Blog has made a nice tutorial on creating an icon.
There is earlier part to the tutorial about the drawing process and metaphors which you can have a look at here.
The part I liked was making the globe. Using the Map Art tool in 3D Revolve from Illustrator you can put an image of a globe onto an object and then just use Illustrator to do what you need to do from there. For the perspectively challenged (me) this is handy.
