I would like to know if the app icon on the iPhone can be slightly different than the one shown in a large version in Apple’s App Store.

It was discussed in short here: Tips for a successful AppStore submission?

But I wanted to make sure if anyone has more experience with that.

To give an example: The New York Times has many words incorporated in its app icon (see http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/nytimes/id284862083?mt=8). Would it be okay to have a full black colored background without the words in the small/homescreen version of the icon?
