InfoSphere vidstar (basically Youtube celeb)
Political Commentator
Actual Politician (who needs to be in person to make votes in Sci-Fi?)
Journalist (the Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite effect isn't as big a deal nowadays, but once upon a time some journalists had a cult of personality, too)
...and my personal favorite, celebrity game designer. ("Oh, my Goddess! YOU designed Corridors and Chimeras! Can I get your Autograph?!?!")

I made an athlete, a sports star. More specifically, a former shock boxer and real contender who was murdered by his crooked fight promoter.
Setsuna Blaine, former contender for shock boxing champion - CN male human mechanic 9 (icon theme, exocortex artificial intelligence)
My Solarion is an actress who plays a magical soldier in the vein of Sailor Moon.
A star who was in a sci-fi tv show, now stuck in a real sci-fi adventure, a la Galaxy Star.
A reality TV show about the space adventures of someone who doesn't realize they're on TV. Secret cameras on their allies follows them everywhere.

Some other ideas:
- A solider with profession (chef) who goes around the universe killing alien beasties, inventing new gourmet dishes with said beasties, and posting the recipes online to his blog.
- A technomancer who is the greatest hologram artist in history. Just a master of the craft.
- Space Rick Steves.
A Technomancer who won the Pact Systems-wide spelling bee when he was 14, now with a huge following of influential nerds.

My solarian is an iconic mixologist.
The classic "well-connected" merchant/smuggler/trader (envoy).
Scotty from Star Trek (mechanic).
A religious/cult leader (mystic); more of a popular movement than part of an established church.
A muckraking independent reporter with a large following (operative with the detective specialization).
Inspired by va-11 hall-a (hopefully I spelt that right) I decided to make an Android icon envoy singer. Not the best race and class choice but the more I thought about the idea the more fun it sounded. Hardly the most original/interesting idea though...

Ysoki technomancer icon best known for the episode they did in The Puddles district of Absalom station. Who knew so many people would find a Ysoki running through transparent tunnels to be so cute?

I toyed with the idea of making a character with the Icon theme who was a writer of choose your own adventure books that were popular with the shirren due to their addiction to choice. Eventually I'd have him expand on the books so that based on the ending you chose you'd be able to purchase the next book that matched your ending, making the repeat value ridiculously high, and profitable. Honestly I'm thinking about pitching this in real life now heheheh.
I have made two Solarian Icons for two different games, but very similar to each other.
One is a singer who's personality is inspired by the Rock (Gorgeous Gary Goldstar).
The other is an actor who's personality might be more like Ravishing Rick Rude (F*BEEP*ing Fabulous Freddie). I took the vocal modulator with the idea that whenever he cursed he would replace it with a beep.
I don't know why I keep thinking "professional wrestler" when I think Solarian icon.
How about a famous Conspiracy Theorist?
I haven't decided on a class yet, but I think it might be best for envoy. I'm planning on making an icon who is a hugely famous writer. The problem is he's famously stolen other peoples adventures. So now he is trying to live some adventures of his own, and there are good odds he'll run into fans or those who mean him harm.
PLanning on playing a Soldier 1/Envoy X who started as a young, wealthy, travel vlogger... who ends up killing an attacker in a firefight, and discovers she REALLY likes killing people... as much, if not more, than she likes traveling.
Joins up in a merc crew for some training (soldier 1), and learns she's a natural leader in battle. (More Envoy!)
She live streams her adventures and battles, choosing the flashiest weapons, boldest strategies, and directs her party as their self-styled Captain, trying for the most exciting kills and firefights!.. and more viewers and fame.
Maestro Vic here is an Envoy, and he's known as the conductor for the Castrovel Symphony Orchestra. He uses the same conducting performance as a tactic in battle. When a fight breaks out, Vic mocks his conducting movements in hopes that his foes will think he's actually directing his party members through magical means. This is an elaborate bluff so they think a huge strike is coming when he steps it up into big sweeping motions (Clever Feint).
If they do manage to close enough, they will find out the hard way that his conducting baton is actually a glamered taclash.
I need to look into augmentations to make it look even more like magical effects to complete the bluff.
I also made Chistori Hammertail; former fighting slave, martial arts grand master, and Veskarium war hero - LG female vesk soldier 18 (icon theme, arcane assailant fighting style)
I'm actually curious now about spaces where the line blurs a little. Is Han Solo an Iconic outlaw, or an iconic Outlaw? Would Neil deGrasse Tyson be an iconic Astrophysicist, or an astrophysics Icon? Is Leonard McCoy a legendary doctor or a legend among doctors?
And just how DO you build Inara?

And I'd like to know how to build Inara as well. I have a friend who wants to basically play her with a touch of Dejah Thoris!
Human Icon Envoy. Focusing on diplomacy, sense motive, bluff, and culture.
Improvisations: Don't Quit, Inspiring Boost, Universal Expression.
Expertise Talents: Convincing Liar, Keen Observer, Well Informed.
One of my players has made an ex-pro wrestling star Soldier/Icon who quit when his tag team partner died from a suspicious overdose.
Love it!
I'd love to play a reality vid-star with a profession of carpentry/interior design etc...
The show idea would be renovating interior designs of space craft.
"Ship Flippers". The show ends up cancelled when the character and their significant other separate over creative differences.
I also love the child actor background for the Icon. That just seems hilarious for some of the classes.
Religious leader is also good.
I've also considered an Iconic military strategist so whenever I get discounts I can say, "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on Absalom Station".
I've made an icon operative who is the shadow of the prevalent company of my home-world. Rumors of his exploits have been greatly exaggerated by the company to expand his influence and dispirit their competitors. Working as an exclusive corporate spy and shadow enforcer my character has picked up the profession (corporate spy) which helps identify other potential threats and hiring opportunities for his own company.

This^^^^ is a great idea! May I steal it?

I wanted to play a skittermander mystic with icon theme. With her having a live reality show called Helping Hands. The gm said I can't play one as I'm new to starfinder, so playing a human mystic much like constantine.
That ain't fair! What's being new to the game have to do with the awesomeness that is skittermanders?!
