Here they are, the actual official versions of the redesigns I'll be using in my next gen!

What changed?

Applejack: With her, I like her palette but I always thought it was too... floral for what she was going for; down-to-earth. A lot of people have been making her coat gradiented, and I really loved that idea, so I went with that! Her cutiemark is three-toned, which I honestly prefer, and her hat is a dark brown instead of the sandy colour it was before. She's easily the biggest mare around, and her brother is even bigger! Her sister is more slender like their mother, but almost as tall.

Twilight: I've always liked her palette, actually, there were just a few minor tweaks. I made her coat a bit darker. I wanted to capture that sort of "between night and day" sort of vibe, so I made her wings sunset coloured, but her mane decending into darkness, like the night sky. (Remember, Cadence is NOT an alicorn in my universe , so Twilight is the only "in between" princess!) Also I gave her golden eyes; again, in my headcanon/universe, purebred unicorns almost always have golden or silver eyes with matching hooves. Her father has gold eyes/hooves, and her mother has silver eyes/hooves, so she inherited her father's. Purebred unicorns also have their cutiemarks spiraling down their legs, hence hers doing the same (along with Rarity's!).

Fluttershy: As shown in my family tree , Fluttershy's mother is actually a pureblood Peryton. This means that some of Fluttershy's traits- including her slenderness and spotting- is because of that. Her brother, Zephyr Breeze, has more traits of a Peryton than Fluttershy does. Anyway, I simply added the brown spotting, and her hair is tweaked a bit, adding the bun and darker streaks. Her cutiemark never really made sense to me, since it wasn't too reflective of what she did, so I made it a bird sitting on a branch.

Pinkie Pie: Everyone else always makes her have lots of speckles and blotches, and of course I had to jump on that train! She looks like her grandmother and her grandfather sort of mushed together, which Ingenous Rock Pie was really emotional over (him? emotional? more likely than you think!)- she looked a lot like his parents, with the dual-coloured eyes (blue and purple) and the yellow/white colour combo. Her cutiemark was tweaked slightly to reflect her eye colour, and she was given space buns(?) because I thought it made her more cute. When she gets older, she combines them into a single bun.

Rarity: Again, I've always really liked her clean and simple colour scheme, all I did was add the pale blue stripe along her back and simplify her mane/tail a bit so it's easier to draw. In my next gen, she wears her hair in a bun as well. Again with the cutiemark, I changed it because as much as she likes diamonds, it's not very indicative of her talent. So, I incorperated a spool of thread and the diamonds act more like beads on it!

Rainbow Dash: I always thought the rainbow was too bright and "in your face" despite that being Rainbow's personality. I made the colours all over a bit softer and purple-tinged, and added white to her mane, because I feel like that offset the brashness. I separated the warm colours from the cool colours because I feel like it's less crowded to the eye. Her eyes as well, I made them violet because... I don't know, I prefer them over the magenta eyes.

Hope you like them all! Yes, these are the designs I'm using in my next gen!
